TRANSCRIPT
GET PLUGGED IN! One of the biggest steps in the journey of a young person is leaving home for the first time to study or work. We want to ensure you have all the support and encouragement you need to make this major transition the best it can possibly be. We believe that wherever you go, you need a church family that cares and supports you – and we have churches in every major centre who would love to be that for you! They are committed and eager to help young adults grow in Christ, face life changes, develop your gifts and leadership, impact the world, and tackle questions and issues. It’s great to know you have churches that will welcome you, involve you, and engage with you and your friends.
1 Timothy 4:12 - Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

7 THINGS YOU NEED FROM A LOCAL ADVENTIST CHURCH:1. A focus on Jesus2. A faith family that welcomes you, wants you, has something for you, and involves you3. Practical Biblical teaching that links faith to your everyday lives4. The chance to have a voice and be a leader5. Permission to try new ideas in new ways6. Mentoring, support, and intergenerational connections by caring adults7. Opportunities to serve in the community
Proverbs 3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
TERTIARY STUDENTS & YOUNG PROFESSIONALSEquipping young adults to be disciples and disciple-makers of Jesus
Ephesians 3:20 - Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Colossians 2:7 - Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will
overflow with thankfulness.
We love our young adults!We know that most young adults are going through big life changes - moving away from home for the
first time, shifting from High School to tertiary study, getting a full time job, getting married and
starting a family - and we would love to support our young adults through whatever they face.
We want to better invest in our young adults so they can invest in their church, community and
world.Our churches and communities need the gifts,
calling, leadership and work of our young adults. We are committed to helping them grow in their walk with Christ, equip them for the big changes they
face in their chapter of life, provide opportunities for them to serve and lead in their local church,
connect them to other young adults, and enlist their help to share Jesus to the world.
We believe our young adults are the church of today and the disciples and disciple-makers Christ has called to impact the world. We trust the gifting God has placed on this generation and want to find better ways to support them as the voice God has
called them to be.
