One minute they’re sleeping in the comfort of their own room, parents just down the hall, family dog at the foot of the bed the next thing they know they’re in a college dorm, new roommate, new friends, new school, pulling all-nighters. Barely enough time to unpack their things and they’re done with school and everything changes again. New job, new friends, new apartment, new relationships, shopping for that perfect couch. And just as they start to feel settled: marriage. New family, new house, new priorities… having kids. Nothing ever stays the same.
Young adults, working adults, married adults, those denying adulthood, regardless of what category, life is in constant change. With all of the new demands in the young adult’s life, it is an important time for them to be actively involved in the life of the church. However, often times just the opposite occurs. They replace the church with school, careers, relationships, and money. The Young Adult Ministry will strive to keep the young adult involved in the life of the church and to reintroduce the church to those young adults whose lives have taken them away.
