In the UCC, young adults are technically those people between the ages of 18 and 30. The reality is that a young adult could be female, male, a student, a professional, single, married, a parent, still living with a parent, Generation X or a Millennial, a seminarian, an ordained minister, someone who hasn't set foot in a church since high school and anything in between. "Young adult" is a distinction of age that encompasses a group as diverse and dynamic as any in the UCC. This webpage is a ministry resource for these young adults, those who minister with them, and all those seeking a better understanding of the needs of young adults and their many roles within the United Church of Christ (categories which are most definitely not mutually exclusive). The links below describe the resources offered by this site.
