Young Adults

This page, and the buttons at left, are a summary of local congregation, Brush Creek USA Mission Center, and World Church-wide events for Young Adults.  Generally, "Young Adults" are generally defined as those between ages 18-39.  Send me information about other events, and I'll keep the information current here.

While we build this set of pages, please see our calendar for an overview of upcoming events.

We Will Become...

The Community of Christ has committed itself to become a worldwide church dedicated to the pursuit of peace, reconciliation, and healing of the spirit.  The church needs young adults to help make this happen.  Doors are opening for young adults in exciting ways.  I have listed a few of those opportunities here, but there are many others, including in your home congregation.

The most important agent of change for young adult ministry in your congregation is you.  If you are active in your congregation, I hope that you have found it to be an opportunity to live out your passions with a community of disciples.  If you are not active, we invite you to join us again.  Your contribution is an integral part of this exciting work to which we are called.  May we each lovingly offer ourselves to the task, trusting that God will mold our efforts into something beautiful.
