Faith for a generation such as this

Left to right: In an Annual Conference worship session entitled “Engaging Young Adults in Ministry,” Rev. Anna Layman-Knox, Rev. Jacob Waybright, Pastor Mindi Ferguson, Pastor Luke Harbaugh, seminary student Kristopher Sledge, and Rev. Matthew Lake discuss ways to engage a lost generation of young adults in faith, in ministry, and in the life of the church.

At the invitation of Bishop Jeremiah J. Park, Rev. Jacob Waybright, seminary student Kristopher Sledge, Rev. Anna Knox, pastors Mindi Ferguson and Luke Harbaugh, and Rev. Matthew Lake led the Susquehanna Annual Conference in an hour-long, worship-infused dialogue, entitled “Engaging Young Adults in Ministry,” whose aim was to share meaningful and faithful reflections about the desires of young adults in matters of faith and the church.

This dialogue is being presented as a series, starting here, in the hope of encouraging dialogue and new ministry efforts in our local churches to reach and engage young adults.
