The mission statement of this new ministry at Calvary is: "To help young adults connect with God, one another, and our world. As a means to grow in Christ, we will help young adults partner with one another as well as the congregation and to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world." This ministry will include small groups, serving opportunities, fellowship events, and more. This is open to people who consider themselves ‘young'…specifically, anyone post high school to mid-thirties…or older if you'd like!
The initial celebration and introduction will be January 14 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the gym. Children are welcome to attend and there will also be childcare provided. We will have dinner for everyone, followed by some opportunities to get to know others or get reacquainted as we help folks form small groups of those in attendance as well as others who might be interested. Other items for the night will be the development of serving plans based upon the input of those attending. In order to have enough food, please RSVP by going here.
The launch team consists of people who showed initial interest and happen to include 2 single college Freshmen, a married student, a professional man, a single mom, and a couple with children. Together, they represent a variety of viewpoints, yet a focused desire to build a strong ministry with young adults of all stages.
First Wednesdays are designed to support intergenerational ministry - that is ministry to people of every and all generations by people of every and all generations. Children, Youth, Young Adults, Adults, and Grandpas and Grandmas learn from each other in a variety of ways how to serve the Lord and to share their faith.
