YOUNG ADULTS
-
Purpose
To seek out young adults with the love of Jesus, invite them into the life of the church, disciple them deeply in the ways of Christ, and equip them to live as faithful, mature followers who carry His mission into every part of lifeβon campus, in the workplace, and in the world.
-
Vision
We envision a generation of young adults who truly know God, who abide in Christ daily, and who are transformed by the Holy Spirit from the inside out. A generation that embraces responsibility, pursues holiness, engages courageously in community, and rises to become disciple-makersβbringing the light of Jesus into CSU, Fort Collins, and beyond.

Foundation
1. God Draws - We Show Up
Only God can save, but we faithfully plant, water, pray, and go to where young adults actually are.
2. Invite Into the Family of God
Young adults belong in the full worshipping life of the church -gatherings, house churches, communion, prayer, and community.
3. Discipleship Is Life-on-Life
People grow through intentional relationships that teach them to imitate Christ through Scripture, accountability, and wisdom.
4. Transformation Comes from Abiding in Christ
Real change is Spirit-led and begins in the inner life, producing holiness, responsibility, and maturity.
5. Every Believer Is Equipped for Ministry
We train young adults not to consume church, but to participate in ministry: serving, evangelizing, leading, and discipling others.
