Young Adult Ministries Provides Opportunities for Faith Formation and Connecting!

|
Young Adult Ministries take seriously the spiritual needs of relevant experiences for young adults, post-high school to 30-something. Young adults at First Congregational are single and partnered, students, working, or balancing the various roles and developing their gifts. Some were raised in a spiritual community, some are just beginning to explore spiritual community for the first time. One thing can be assumed: young adults at First Congregational are a diverse group. They appreciate both developing their own community and opportunities to integrate into the life of the congregation. There are two opportunities for connection: "Living the Questions" At present, young adults gather in monthly after church lunches to explore "Living the Questions," which engages questions of life and faith as we navigate what it means to be Christian in this time and place.
