Young Adults (Ages 18-35)

“Lifespan Faith Engagement” means accompanying those who are coming of age in a dying and transforming world to be meaning-makers and agents of change. We are here to support religious professionals and lay leaders of all ages to do just that.

We support your congregational ministries and your efforts to connect across congregations by offering funding and consultations with our staff. Find your connection in the sidebar.

We can collaborate with you and local colleagues to execute in person and online learning experiences for youth and/or adults on pastoral care, community building, leadership development and safety. Connect with your Regional Liaison to make this happen.
