Community Life: Young Adult Ministry

Young Adult Ministry

Young Adult Ministry welcomes all adults ages 21-35, as they are met in the stages of life as college students, professional singles, married couples, or young families that are eager to grow in love with God whether searching, found, confused, or questioning. The hope is that everyone who joins can be a part of a community who can inspire and motivate one another to ignite a passion for their faith and the gospel. 

We meet the first and third Wednesday of the month from 7- 8 pm in the Ministry Building, which is located behind the church. We will usually read the upcoming Sunday’s Gospel using Lectio Divina or Ignatian meditation. Sometimes we spend time in fellowship after our regular meeting time and play games or enjoy some tea and treats. We also make plans to engage in activities outside of our regular meetings.

If you have any questions, or would like to be added to the email list, please contact Dulcinea at yam@goodshepherdpittsburg.org
