Colossians 2:6-7

Our Young Adult Ministry exists to equip and encourage the next generation of believers as they grow in Christ through spiritual transformation and fortification, personal and practical care, employment in service, and developing meaningful relationships. We seek to provide these for our college and career-oriented young adults in areas unique to their Christian walk.
More About Who We Are
Our primary purpose is spiritual transformation and fortification. We desire that our Young Adults have beliefs that have been anchored solidly in Christ as their personal savior and that what they have received in Christ would inform their growing walk of faith.

Other purposes: We want to see our Young Adults equipped and encouraged for life, growing in their love for God and His Word, serving, and deepening relationships with peers and other generations.
