Young Adults

You are the Church of TODAY.

Young Adults (18-25) is more than an age group, it’s a season of life where faith, identity, relationships, and calling are being shaped. We want to come alongside you, men and women, to encourage you to live out "Joshua-like" lives, remaining in the presence of God and stepping with courage boldly into the calling He has given you. We believe that when we learn to remain in God’s presence, we become people who are prepared to go wherever He calls us.

YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY IS BUILT AROUD THREE SIMPLE MOVEMENTS:

BELONG

We aim to help young adults to belong, providing the space to for them to find deep, authentic spiritual community with those in the same stage of life.

BUILD

We come alongside young adults to help them take up their faith and build their relationship with Christ through worship, Scripture, and one-on-one mentoring.

BECOME

Our goal is for young adults to become all God created them to be, discover their gifts and passions, and learn how to use them for His Kingdom.

Weekly Gathering

Tuesdays 7-8:30 PM | The Bridge Area, South Campus

We gather for fellowship, worship, and biblical teaching in a space dedicated to encountering the presence of God. Through leading, mentorship, spiritual formation, and serving opportunities, you won’ just be challenged to grow in your faith but equipped to live it out.

Afterparties

The 1st Tuesday Every Month after the Gathering

This time is all about having fun, building community, and making space to connect beyond the gathering. Expect good food, games, conversation, and a different experience every month. Afterparties are an easy place to bring a friend, meet new people, and find your place. Come for the gathering. Stay for the Afterparty.

The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.

FAQ

What age do I need to be to be part of young adults?

The majority of our young adults are between 18-25 years old. If you're a high schooler or parent with young kids, we would love to connect you with our high school ministry or adult small groups.

Can I bring my kids?

We welcome any young adult who has children! Unfortunately, our group meeting time does not have childcare. If you want to come, we would love to have you, but we ask that you make arrangements for your children.

How can I get connected to a mentor?

The young adults ministry has a team of great individuals who join weekly specifically to come alongside young adults as mentors. If you come weekly, you'll be connected with a mentor automatically!

Who can I contact with questions?

Pastor Keaton Stout is the Young Adults pastor; he can be reached by email at keaton@theriver.cc.
