Young Adult Ministry

Mission

Our mission is to foster a growing community where young adults (ages 18-49) are encouraged to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ, share our faith, build meaningful relationships and use our gifts and talents to serve and make a positive impact in the world and church.

"But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever."
2 Peter 3: 18 (NIV)

Goals

The Young Adult Ministry (YAM) Leadership Team is committed to keeping young adults connected through fellowship, prayer, service, and the study of God’s Word. These pillars are essential to the growth of the ministry and the church. Over the years, YAM has actively served the Harlem community through mission projects and has led dynamic worship experiences during Young Adult Sundays, Family Sundays, and the annual “God Did It” Pre-Watch Night service.
