Young Adult Ministry

Connecting Young Adults shaped by community, questioning, and service

Our ministry creates brave space for young adults in their 20’s-mid 30’s to deepen through faith through study, conversation, service, and gatherings that build community. Whether you have called Cincinnati your home all your life or are new to the area, we want to connect with you! 

If you are a person who is working to lean into the ideas that God’s abundant grace is for everyone – community is foundational – social justice is integral to a life of faith – LGBTQ+ people are beloved – Black Lives Matter – you can’t love God without loving others – climate change is real – faith and doubt are not incompatible – this group might be for you!

Current Study

Names of Jesus

at Bean & Barley

Mondays from 6:30 - 8:00PM

Followers of Jesus have claimed from the beginning that Jesus was foretold in the Old Testament. Isaiah, an Old Testament prophet, gives readers four titles in his writing – Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:2-7). To prepare for Christmas, we will gather to ponder each title and how the people understood it then, how Jesus did or did not fulfill the title, and how we interpret Jesus as representative of that title today.

Gatherings will take place every Monday from December 2 – 23 from 6:30 – 8:00p at Bean and Barley. There is nothing to watch or listen to before, just show up ready to read scripture and engage in conversation.

Bring a Friend! We encourage you to invite other young adults to join in this meaningful study, and feel free to share this info with anyone who might be interested. 

Study Schedule

December 2 – Wonderful Counselor

December 9 – Mighty God
