The Young Adult Fellowship at First Presbyterian is a radically welcoming community. 

We gather around storytelling, Bible Study, theological inquiry, and curiosity about all things spiritual. For our purposes, “Young Adult” includes everyone from 18-50. We are intentionally multigenerational, just as we are multiracial, multiethnic, and multicultural. We are queer, trans, straight, nonbinary, and everything in between. What brings us together is our curiosity about God and one other. We take the Bible and religion seriously, and we understand that requires imagination and openness.

We’re part of a Presbyterian (PCUSA) church, which means that we are rooted in the longstanding (and complicated) history, theology, and traditions of the Reformation. Mainly it means we’re part of a church that has progressive politics and traditional theology (i.e.: we’re Trinitarian and take the Bible seriously). No, you don’t have to be Presbyterian to hang out with us.

Whether you are a skeptic, a spiritualist, or a longtime saint, there’s a place for you here.
