Young Adults
Love God-Love Others- Love the World
The Young Adult Council (YAC) is here to serve you! We're a mixture of 18-35 year olds who are dedicated to reaching our generation in meaningful ways. We provide a number of ways to connect each year through the Young Adult Retreat, Korean Partnership, Regional Service Projects/Activities or our upcoming Urban Event. If you're interested in starting a young adult program at your church or have one now and could use support, you've come to the right place! We have a number of training opportunities thoughout the year. Always feel free to e-mail your ideas to yac@bwcumc.org.
