Young Adult Ministry
Young Adults at the Kirk are people in their twenties and thirties, some single, some married, some with children.
There is a place at our table for everyone!
Each one of us is seeking something, and each one of us finds that “something” in a unique way! We are 20/ 30 somethings who desire to talk about life and how our faith practices relate & help us in our search. How can we faithfully respond to the many situations we come across in our day to day activities? How can we faithfully respond to current events in the world? This is different for every person, and it is through those differences that we can grow and learn to see the world in a new way.
We are a group of people asking and searching, finding and discerning, and repeating it all over again. We come from different traditions and backgrounds, but are all beautifully flawed children of God. We don’t tell anyone that they are wrong, but instead we listen and value each person’s thoughts and beliefs. We don’t say that anyone is right, but instead we honor our differences recognizing that we don’t know WHO is right if any one person even is. We listen. We talk. We open our hearts and ears for something that just might change us in a small or great way.
Childcare may be provided for many of our gatherings with 3-days notice.
Faith, Study, and Discernment Opportunities
Bible Study — 2nd Wednesdays, 7:30-9:00pm | Normally in Kirk YA Classroom
Next meeting: Please visit Slack for updates
We will study the Acts of the Apostles followed by I Corinthians using the curriculum provided by Yale Divinity School as the basis, focusing on the development and struggles of the early Church. We will explore how the time and culture around the early Church impacts our modern Church and examine how this can benefit and hinder the Church in our Christian responsibilities. Acts will focus more on the philosophy, while Corinthians will focus on the application. Visit the Slack channel for further updates.
Devout Stout — First Thursday of every month, 7 pm at Buffalo Brothers, Kildaire Farm Road, across from the Kirk. Join us for a night of fellowship, trivia, and faith discussions. How is our faith challenging us to respond to current events? Who had the number one hit in November 2009? How are you creating space and time for yourself lately? These are all questions that could come up!
Service Projects
Part of discerning our faith is ENACTING our faith. We regularly serve around our community in a variety of ways. Watch the Kirk newsletter, Slack and our Facebook page for upcoming opportunities!

We have successfully escaped, cheered on sports teams, and shown our level of trivial knowledge as we gather for fellowship. Watch the Kirk newsletter, Slack and our Facebook page for upcoming fellowship events!
