Reach Young Adults
We are seeking church partnerships nationwide in 2025 to host Christian young adult conferences. These young adult conferences or retreats are discussions for young adults of all ages and backgrounds.Â
From these catalytic event gatherings, we encourage small group communities to be formed. Some will use our 6-week single adult curriculum, Embrace the Table. We see 25%-40% of young adult conference attendees join a small group after our events for the first time using our Embrace the Table 6 session study.
