When college life throws you curveballs, how do you keep faith? Matthew Carlisle, a college student and active participant in our church's college ministry, joins us to share his journey of cultivating a community of believers amidst the highs and lows of academia. Straddling responsibilities at Sam's and online school, Matthew reveals the richness of spiritual life that thrives when young adults like himself are woven into the tapestry of church fellowship. Through a myriad of activities from Bible studies to lively pickleball games, he paints a portrait of the Baptist Student Ministry's pivotal role in his life and in the lives of his peers, proving that the church walls are just the beginning of where ministry happens.
In this heart-to-heart, we unearth the gems of generational connection within the church, with Georgetown as our case study for the seamless integration of college students into the larger church family. Matthew, Jake, and Maverick delve into the tales of transformation that emerge from men's groups and discipleship programs, where wisdom is exchanged between the young and the seasoned. We celebrate the vibrant leadership blend that includes everyone from deacons to students and share the impact of our prayer board, which serves as a beacon for the spiritual needs within our community. So, if your heart is seeking a place to grow and glow with fellow believers, consider this your personal invite to join us and witness firsthand the extraordinary ways God is stirring the spirits of the young adult flock.
