Young Adult

Looking for real friendships, purpose, and a place to belong? We’re a group of people in our 20s who get together several times a week—sometimes for Bible study, sometimes just to hang out, laugh, and do life together. What started as a few friends has grown into something deeper: a community that supports each other through the highs and lows, encourages real growth, and helps us stay grounded in our faith. We’re not perfect—we’re just real people figuring life out together. Through meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and growing closer to God, we’ve built strong friendships and a support system that truly feels like family. If you’ve been wanting connection, deeper faith, or just a solid group of people in your corner, you’re always welcome to join us 🤍

Our Aim

Our goal is to make confident, self-reliant and faithful adult believers in Christ. We do this by offering programs that promote all three and encourage our parents to get involved with the kids.

Saturday regular Meetings

(@ 7:00PM) – a time of fellowship, games and bible lessons that promote their trust in Christ.

Concerts And Youth Events

The young adults' activities include conferences, movie nights, talent shows, snorkeling, and beach days

Primitive Camping

a time when the youth learn to be self-reliant in the woods. The skills they learn are: how to build a shelter from nothing; how to make fire with minimal equipment; how to find clean water; how to recognize wild edible vegetation; how to process food; and how to navigate without electronics. All these are done in an environment of faith ending each night with lessons learned and their relationship to living with Christ. We always conclude this event with and exciting worship in the woods. Along with Gabby, the program is supervised by pastor Bill and other adult trained individuals.

Missions

The youth are encouraged to attend and participate in both our international and domestic missions. To date many of our youths have: taken several trips to the Dominican Republic to do construction and work with youth; locally repaired a low-income medical clinic and sister church; and are planning a trip to work at a orphanage in Peru.

Karate

Pastor Bill who has taught martial arts for over 30 years offers a program in the community call Risen Son Martial Arts. Both children and adults in the community get lessons and testing for free. The only catch is the kids are required to read age-appropriate but classical books in order to test for their belts. He works with several other schools in Florida and to date has graduated 8 students to black belt since arriving in Florida ten years ago.
