We Can’t Wait: a Young Adult Experience

Polaroid photo of a young women holding a hand-lettered sign that reads We Can't Wait, and the photo is labeled A Young Adult Experience.

Young adults are an important voice in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). They are ready to serve and have demonstrated faith in many ways within the PC(USA). Young Adults can’t wait for the church to be ready for them; they are ready NOW! The Big Tent offers a unique opportunity for young adults (ages 18-35) to gather for inspiration, discipleship and service to the community.

Young adults are encouraged to be a part of the other conferences and workshops during the Big Tent. While there will not be a separate track for young adults, there are opportunities to gather together and serve the community.
