Meeting the call of local churches for training and guidance in developing young adult ministry, Young Adult LIFE Tour aims to equip and empower local churches across the North American Division.
Wanting to be more than a training event, the Young Adult LIFE Tour intends to be experiential and interactive, seeking to hold tour stops in local Adventist churches across the division where vibrant young adult ministry is thriving and bringing vitality to the whole congregation. The tour is thrilled to be in the Southeastern California Conference, at Praxis, where worshiping Jesus, growing in biblical truth, and holding to authenticity, community, and sacrifice are key values for discipleship. As young adults collectively fulfilling the great commission of Jesus, Praxis aims to learn and know the deep love of Jesus and put it into practice. https://praxisministry.org/
June 23-24 offers an exciting array of gatherings, including Night Church and a big Afterglow party. Saturday morning features teaching, preaching, training, including a panel with unique young adult voices who will speak on the future of the church. Then the tour concludes at Thousand Steps Beach for a fun beach vespers. Across the Pacific Union and beyond, ministry leaders passionate about young adult ministry and young adults themselves are especially invited to the Young Adult LIFE Tour. youngadultlife.com
