About

This new Intermountain District ministry was birthed from a little bit of inspiritation, frustration, and cooperation. It is the by-product of a lot of conversations throughout the years, and it has recently been made manifest by a group of young adults who were just hungry for their own place of ministry and service.

Kenton Lee – a twentysomething from Nampa First Church of the Nazarene – is serving as the Young Adult Ministry Coordinator. This position falls under the realm of Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International which is under the leadership of Pastor Tim Brewer from Ontario Church of the Nazarene. Kenton is forming a young adult ministry team with a representative from each of the zones on the Intermountain District.

This Young Adult ministry is going to serve as a supplement for the young adult ministries that are going on at a local level. We will provide large social events throughout the year. We will try to make some traditional District events more attractive to young adults. And we will seek to train aspiring pastors and lay members to do young adult ministry in their own local church.

But, overall, what are we all about? We are all about young adults. That’s us.

————————————————————————————————————————-

How do you define a ‘young adult’ or a ‘twentysomethings’ person?

Are they young marrieds? Single? In college? Out of college? Married with kids? Working? Not working? Right out of high school? Over thirty? Under twenty? All of that?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And, yes.

Young adults are all of those things. And because we are all of those things – we are not going to separate it anymore. It is time that twentysomethings started hanging out with other twentysomethings – whether they are single, married, not quite twenty, way past twenty, in college, out of college, or never even been in college. Young adults are like a good stew. The more ingredients the better. So we are going to try our best to bring the young adults from the Intermountain District together… and get our stew on.

How will this look? You tell us. We want to do social events, service opportunities, and spiritual experiences that young adults want to do. We want to bring young adults together from Salt Lake City, La Grande, Twin Falls, Meridian, Ontario, Boise, Idaho Falls, and everywhere and anywhere in between. This is a brand new ministry for the Intermountain District, and we are excited to connect with you to see what good things we can do together.

So check out the site. Give us a holler. And hopefully we will see you soon…for some stew!
