A Transformative Moment is calling together an ecumenical gathering of pastors and lay leaders to think creatively with one another about young adult ministry. Join us as we consider new ways of understanding young adult faith transitions, share from our varied experiences with young adults, and reflect on ways of talking with young adults about topics like prayer, baptism, Jesus, and sex.
Keynote Speaker: Gil Dueck
