Many were from the greater Metro NY area, with some traveling from Pennsylvania, and one participant from each Maine and Washington State! We came together for a weekend in learning community, knowing that our connections with one another provide support and catalyze our own growth. Participants reflect: “It was great to connect with other young adults from around the country. It’s easy to forget as a young adult away from my home church that there’s this whole community out there just waiting to be…

Describing itself as a “regional community center,” First Church leverages its unique facilities…

The Basics – FUUCC is a large church with more than 600 members and 400 adults attending on an average Sunday. Commitment to young adult ministry runs through the church staff and lay leaders, including both ministers and the Director of Religious Education. In addition to welcoming young adults into multigenerational church life and leadership, ministry programs specifically targeting young adults include: Twenties/Thirties Covenant Group (part of the church’s extensive small group ministry program) A campus…

  The Hub for Connection

  As of January 1st, Connectuu will no longer exist.  It will be replaced by the Google Map and Google Calendar features on The Hub: Young Adult UUs on Facebook.  These tools are easy to use, provide more information in a more accessible way and easily integrate into more social networks.     The Hub Google map is mainly for contact information about Young Adult and Campus Ministry groups through congregations and other geographic associations.                 The Hub Google Calendar is a great way to learn about new events- particularly conferences- that are happening across the country.  I’ve entered events of which I’m aware, and count on you to…
