Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. 1 Tim 4:12 NLT
We desire that all 20 and 30-somethings find their passionate purpose within Christ's love for them. Negotiating the early years of adulthood can be challenging and confusing. We're here to work out life and faith in community so together we can realize and live out with confidence the hope to which we have each been called.
Please join us!
Planted
First and Third Thursdays (September-May)
7:00-9:00pm
Deschutes Room
Planted is a gathering for young adults (18-30’s) who are looking to root and establish themselves in the life-giving way of Jesus. Planted is open to all backgrounds, all questions, all journeys, and all hopes as we wrestle with the audacious message of Jesus and its implications for our lives. We’ll worship together, explore various spiritual disciplines and resources, and have lots of honest conversations about the Bible and the world we live in. Join us anytime!
