Young Adults

OUR MISSION

Inviting young adults to know Jesus more deeply & experience His power as we become more like Him.

//

Philippians 3:10 “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and may share in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death”

Groups

Community Groups (CGs) are a great place to find community and do life with one another in a small group setting. CGs are a place for accountability, prayer, and the reading of Scripture. We have several CGs serving Highland's young adults. We offer gender-specific and young married groups. Find a list of Young Adult Community Groups HERE.

To find out more about Young Adult CGs, contact Ben Calkins.

Sundays 5:15pm | Room 313 of Education Building

(Co-Ed, 20’s to 30’s) Beginning on Sunday August 23rd and running throughout the school year, YA ABF seeks to go deep in bible study as we unpack the content from the previous Worship Night’s sermon through a blend of teaching and small group discussion. You don’t have to have attended the previous Worship Night to be up to speed — no signup needed; all are welcome!

For more information, contact Ben Calkins.


Soul Care Groups provide a safe, discreet, intentional, and compassionate environment for people who are struggling with sin and the effects of sin to seek healing. In these groups, men and women share their struggles with each other and with God, turning to Christ for strength and healing which is found through His Spirit and by His Word. Soul Care Groups meet on Thursdays, from 6:30-8:30pm, beginning with a time of worship, teaching and testimony in the Chapel.

The cost for materials is based on the group attended. Scholarships are available based on need.

For more information, contact Ben Calkins.
