The mission of Reliance Young Adults is to lead young adults to know, love, and serve Jesus—walking alongside them as they grow and mature in their relationship with Christ and their understanding of His Word through biblical teaching, discipleship, community, and serving the church and our community.
We don’t simply want to create another Tuesday night gathering. We want to cultivate a community where young adults encounter Jesus, experience authentic biblical community, grow deep in their faith, and are equipped to live out that faith every day.
Deep & Wide
We strive to be deep in our relationship with Jesus and wide in our welcome to others.
-
Deep: Knowing God through His Word and letting truth move from our heads to our hearts.
-
Wide: Loving people well, building genuine community, and inviting others to hope.
Our Priorities
1. Authentic Community — Be Known & Belong
We want Tuesday nights to feel like home. Belonging matters more than attendance. We build real friendships through weekly gatherings, beach days, camping trips, and shared meals.
2. Biblical Teaching & Growth — Know & Live God’s Word
God’s Word is our foundation. Fall and Spring discussions build off Sunday’s sermons to process real-life application, while Summer brings focused teaching series so truth moves from our heads to our hearts
3. Intentional Discipleship — Walk Side-by-Side
Faith isn’t lived alone. We prioritize relational discipleship, pairing you with leaders and peers to process real life, ask hard questions, and mature together.
4. Serving & Living Sent — Love in Action
Faith moves us outward. We encourage every young adult to use their gifts to serve within the local church and make a visible difference in our surrounding community.
Your Next Step
Wherever you are in your faith, there is a clear next step:
1. Come — Join us Tuesdays at 6:30 PM for worship, teaching, and discussion.
2. Belong — Keep showing up, build community, and engage in the broader church.
3. Grow — Step into discipleship and intentionally deepen your walk with Christ.
4. Serve — Use your gifts to serve inside and outside the church walls.
5. Lead — Help others grow by discipling and building up the body of Christ.
Join Us!
We meet every Tuesday night at 6:30 PM for fellowship, worship, biblical teaching, and discussion. In addition to meeting weekly, we intentionally create opportunities for fellowship and discipleship through various events like camping trips, beach days, worship nights, coffee crawls, and more!
But Young Adults is more than a weekly gathering. It’s a community of people seeking to know Jesus, love one another, and live faithfully for Him.
Whether you’re new to following Jesus, looking for a church community, or have been walking with Him for years, we’d love to have you join us.
