About Ohio Young Adults
This ministry is for a diverse group of young adults from 18-30 years of age. Our heart is to reach this demographic no matter what phase of life they are in. From young married couples, young professionals, college students, and those still deciding what they want to do next. This ministry is for them. Barna found that 64%-80% of teens who grew up in church fall away in their young adult years. Our heart is to change this statistic. We believe that powerful encounters with Jesus, a loving community, and impactful resources will reverse this statistic. The Ohio Young Adult leadership team organizes statewide events for us to gather and seek the Lord. Local young adult leaders connected with us also put on regional events throughout the year and we encourage young adults in the network to attend. Stay tuned for more events in the future.

This event is for Young Adults at any life stage, whether in college, starting a career, married, or single. We know this event will have something for young adults collectively and something just for you individually.
