Alliance Young Adults
We are a deeper life, church-driven, young adults movement. We want every person ages 18–30 to know that:
- You belong.
- Jesus is inviting you deeper.
- You have a significant purpose.
Don’t miss our next event!
If you are a young adult aged 18-30, we want to invite you to a regional gathering to celebrate, discuss, and affirm these truths of belonging, deeper life in Christ, and finding your purpose in God’s kingdom. We long to send you back to your local context encouraged and confident that life with Jesus goes deep, and that you will know as a young adult that you have a unique part to play in His Church! We’ll incorporate a mix of worship, spiritual teaching, group discussions, break-out conversations, firepits, social activities, and prayer!

We are very confident that these 6, 15-minute messages will be impactful, relevant, and biblical.

Young adult ministry leaders in their local church and district/denominational leaders are also welcome to attend.

We are actively praying about where to go next! Our intention is to host regional conferences around the United States. If you think your church would be a good host site and want to discuss what that could mean, contact [email protected]!
