Young Adult Life
Young Adult Life is a weekly meeting designed by First Pres young adults for young adults. Whether you're single or married, this community was created for people in their 20's and 30's to find space to worship God and serve him together. In response to God's great love, we seek to cultivate an inclusive, accessible, Christ-centered community of young adults. Through prayer, worship, service, love, and by grappling with the real issues of life and faith, we hope for personal transformation and to be witnesses of that change in one another, throughout the church, and in the world.
