Young Adults

Cherokee's young adults (ages 18 - 35) are a vital and growing group within the church family. 
Our programs are structured to encourage spiritual growth and
opportunities for worship, fellowship and mission.

Call to Ministry Event

To “discern” means to recognize or identify. United Methodist laity—women and men—seeking to discern God’s will for their lives will have that opportunity in late October, 2008.

A Young Adult Discernment Event, open to United Methodist persons aged 20-30 living in the United States, will take place in New York City, October 31-November 2, 2008.

The purpose of this Discernment Event is to provide a space for young adults (ages 20-30) to explore options for service beyond the local congregation, discover the connection between justice and faith, and to provide a space to discern where it is that God is calling them in their lives.

Space is limited for the event and the deadline for application is September 15, 2008. All reasonable costs, including travel within the US, lodging, and meals, will be covered by the event sponsors -- the Office of Deaconess and Home Missioner and the Youth and Young Adult Program Office of the General Board of Global Ministries, the mission agency of The United Methodist Church.
