Young Adult Ministries

Young Adult Coordinating Team (YACT) Young Adult Coordinating Team (YACT) is made up of representatives from each of the four associations.

Our mission is:
"to invite, encourage, and equip passionate Christian discipleship in young adults in the congregations of the Wisconsin Conference, United Church of Christ."

Young Adult Coordinating Team  

“Y-ACT wants to serve as a bridge between churches and Young Adults in the Wisconsin Conference UCC.”  

… A bridge over troubled water? … A bridge over a frightening gap?  

- If you are missing people between the ages of 20 and 40 in your church,

- If you ask yourself: Where are all the young people?

- If you are wondering what you do wrong,

- If you are wondering what they do wrong,

- If you are angry and call them a “lost generation”…  

             

Our Ministry Could Be Helpful For You!  

The Young Adult Coordinating Team of the Conference (Y-ACT) is a group of lay people and pastors in their twenties and thirties with a passion for ministry for our generation.  

We would like to come to your church and take a look with you at the following themes that we find necessary and helpful to understand our church’s current situation:  

What is “Generation X”?

Who are they, and who are we?

What do they need from us as a church?

What can they offer our faith community?

What has “Modernity” and Post-Modernity” to do with it?

How did we come to where we are now in our church culture and in the American culture at large?  

We would like to come to your church (or a cluster of churches) for two different WORKSHOPS:  

ROAD SHOW 1“Looking at Things Through A New Lens”, Ministry with Generation X      (4-5 hour learning event)  

ROAD SHOW 2“Our Changing World”, Modernity/Post-Modernity    (3 hour learning event, builds on Road Show 1)  

We come in for free on a Saturday or Sunday (afternoon) and would only ask you to provide lunch for us.  

If you are interested in having an informative and interactive multimedia workshop on ministry for “young adults”, please contact us:
