Ministry & Mission

In their unrelenting focus on Love, Connection, Community, and Discipleship, this generation of young adults is looking for significant life and faith connections both with each other and with older and more mature adults.

We believe that intergenerational relationships and listening to the voice of young people are important for the health of a congregation, as together we grow young.

How do we engage with each other and the proclamation of the gospel during such a time of crisis?  Worship is God coming to us (incarnationally) to heal, equip, empower and encourage us in our day-to-day mission!
