Inspirational Stories


How are we working strategically to release young adults into missional ministry across Baptists Together?

Hearing the voice of young adults is highly desirable, if not essential, amongst our churches. Indeed, the challenge of reaching adults aged 18-35 was identified as one of six priorities by our Baptist Union Council in November 2018.

Within Baptists Together, there are some inspirational examples of engaging with young adults on a local level. But all too often the voices these voices haven't been heard on a national level, until recently. The SENT Mission Summit and the UK cohort have been great in engaging with young adults nationally.

Articles from the 'Reaching and Raising Young Adults' magazine, and other stories from young adults in our churches are listed below:
