As part of a covenant promise-keeping body of believers, how can a student’s church family help support their launch? Let's look at a CRC church in Barrie, Ontario, for some good ideas.
At Inspire 2019, Pastor Mary Hulst issued a call to action for churches went it comes to young adults. She made a profound declaration that something needs to change. Amen to that!
Why we need to stop standing up for Jesus, and start standing like him.
As late summer rolls around, thousands of university students pack their bags and head off for another year of school. How do we best support them? Here are three tips.

Is your youth group or school group looking for a missions opportunity? World Renew's Global Volunteer Program offers short-term volunteer opportunities year-round.
I wonder what happen if more people sat in silence and solitude a little more often. What if Jesus’ followers, the Church, led the way in unplugging every now and then? How might it change us?
Creating a mix tape took time and patience, an ardent attentiveness that I’m not sure I possess anymore. So why did we do it? Because of a truth that has not changed for centuries: Songs can give expression to our experience.
Will you share your youth worker knowledge with us through this short survey?
We are looking for ways to mentor our young adults (both those who stay in town and those who go elsewhere to university). Do you have any strategies, programs, or resources that you've used?
Thinking about moving towards engagement? You should be able to answer "yes" to all four of these very important questions.
The TOGETHER curriculum is suitable for those who live with special needs and those who don’t. And the best part is you don’t have to split these students up, as is so often the case in the teen and early adult years. Neat, eh?
Dig is a summer program that helps youth uncover their future by exploring their callings while enriching and deepening their faith. This $4000 program will only cost $500.
I have hope that God is still working in my child’s life, even when she doesn’t recognize it. I have hope that God will continue to walk alongside her parents in those times when her absence at university is felt deeply.
World Renew has launched Operation Ruby Slipper, a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign to encourage teens and young adults to take action and help hurricane survivors get back home. Register a team today!
Did you listen to Pastor Mary's talk on the topic of millennials and the church yesterday? What were some of your top takeaways?
I'm looking for study materials for a young adult (post-high/college age) group that is newly forming at Wayland CRC. I'd also love to hear how churches are connecting with young adults. Any suggestions?
Our first unofficial week of camp brought together IMPACT Club members from Armenia, Albania, Moldova, and Romania. IMPACT Clubs work to create positive change in their own communities through service.
The hope is that the environment of a microbrewery and a community of equally inquisitive young adults will attract some of those people who wouldn’t normally attend a meeting affiliated with the church.
I'd like to propose a question: Can a one-week experience actually change the trajectory of a young person's life toward Christ?
For the last several years, groups of young people from several of the local schools have blessed the CRC staff at "1700" with music of the Advent and Christmas season!
Do illnesses, failed classes, divorces, cruel bosses, or financial ruin seem like giving us a hope and a future? There are times when God’s promises feel more like lies than truth.
We are living in a cultural season in which a kind of “stand alone authenticity” is celebrated and encouraged everywhere. It’s a false idol that needs to be discerned, named and rejected.
