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!

Mid-Summer Study Kickoff
Burger Week Edition

at Bandito (3543 Columbia Parkway)

Monday 5:30pm

July 7th

We’re launching our summer study with a night out during Cincinnati Burger Week. Join us on Sunday, July 7 at 5:30 PM at Bandito (3543 Columbia Parkway) as we explore one of the city’s best burger spots.

Cincinnati Burger Week unites the city’s top chefs and restaurants to serve up one-of-a-kind burger creations. It’s a week-long celebration of local flavor, hometown pride, and culinary creativity. Our Young Adults group takes full advantage of food weeks like this to enjoy great food, connect in community, and explore the culture of our city together.

Just bring your appetite and a friend!

Current Study:
Brews & The Progressive Christians Podcast

at Bean & Barley

Mondays 7:00 - 8:30pm

July 21st - September 29th

Beginning Monday, July 21, join us each week as we dive into The Progressive Christians Podcast, a conversation that blends faith, justice, culture, and community. If you’re curious about what socially and politically progressive Christianity looks like, this podcast is for you. Each episode explores themes of theology, politics, pop culture, and faith through the lens of progressive Christianity. Listen to the episode before we gather for conversation over your favorite drink. Come when you can—no need to attend every week as each episode stands on its own. All are welcome, so feel free to bring a friend.

“We’re the love-your-neighbor kind of Christians, not the storm-the-Capitol kind.”
