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

Brews and Holy Troublemaking

at Bean and Barley

Mondays from 7:00p-8:30p

To follow along with the sermon series Holy Troublemakers and the Arc of Justice, the young adults will dive into the Book of Isaiah. The study will incorporate four visions of the prophet Isaiah that raises holy trouble as we learn that central and essential to living life together is justice.  

Young adults are invited to watch a short video via Amplify Media (think Netflix for Christians) before each session that introduces a vision from Isaiah. We will explore how the words of Isaiah regarding justice and peace still have meaning and relevance for us today. 

The study will take place on Monday evenings from 7:00-8:30p at Bean and Barley starting September 16th through October 7th. 

Study Schedule

September 23 –  Strategic Plan Presentation at church 

September 30 –  A Vision of Cooperation
