YOUNG ADULTS / AGES 18 – 30

THANKFUL
LIVE.

Live the Thankful life. Career, relationships, independence, calling — it's all happening at once. Thankful Live is where young adults find community that's real, faith that's relevant, and purpose that doesn't wait until you've got it all figured out. I'M IN

THIS ISN'T YOUR PARENTS' SMALL GROUP

You were trained up. Now it's time to live it out.

You sat in the pews. You went to VBS. You heard the stories, learned the songs, and maybe even made a decision at a youth camp that changed your life. But somewhere between graduation and now, faith started feeling like something you inherited instead of something you own. Thankful Live is where the inheritance becomes the investment. This is where young adults stop going through the motions and start building a faith that's tested, personal, and strong enough to carry the weight of real life — rent, relationships, career pressure, loneliness, purpose. This isn't maintenance mode. This is where you stop surviving your faith and start living it. On purpose. Out loud. For real.
WHAT THANKFUL LIVE IS BUILT ON

From inherited faith to intentional faith.

🏠
Belonging You left home but you still need a table. Thankful Live is the family you choose — one that shows up when the group chat goes quiet.
🧭
Direction Career, calling, relationships — the decisions are constant. We help you build a framework for discernment rooted in Scripture, not anxiety.
🟋
Depth Your faith survived youth group. Now it needs roots. We study the Word like adults — with nuance, context, and real-world application.
🤝
Accountability Not someone checking up on you. Someone checking in on you. People who love you enough to ask the hard questions — and stick around for the answers.
THE RHYTHM

How we do life together.

01 GATHER We meet regularly for worship, teaching, and honest conversation. Think dinner church meets Bible study meets the kind of night where you lose track of time because the conversation is that good.
02 GROUPS Smaller circles where the real stuff happens. Gender-specific groups that go deeper than Sunday — processing career moves, relationships, doubt, calling, and everything in between.
03 GO Service projects, outreach, and mission. Faith without action is just theory. We put hands and feet to what we believe — locally, regionally, and beyond.
REAL TALK

Most young adults don't leave the faith. They leave the church. We're building the kind of church worth staying for.

We know the stats. We know that 18 to 30 is where most people drift. And we know why — because too many churches don't create space for the questions, the complexity, and the honesty this season requires. Thankful Live exists because we refuse to lose a generation to indifference. This isn't programming. It's not a holding pattern until you get married and join the "real" church. This is real church — for where you are right now. You don't have to have your life together to belong here. You just have to want something more than what the world is offering. That's enough. Come as you are.
WHO'S LEADING THIS

People who are living it, not just teaching it.

Our Thankful Live leaders aren't watching from the sidelines. They're in the same season — navigating the same pressures, asking the same questions, and choosing faith every day on purpose.

Leader Name Live Director "I got tired of pretending I had it all figured out. Turns out, that's exactly the kind of honesty this generation is looking for."

Leader Name Groups Coordinator "The best thing about this group is nobody performs. We just show up — messy, real, grateful."
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” PROVERBS 22:6 Someone poured into you. Someone prayed over you. Someone drove you to church when you didn’t want to go. This is the season where all of that investment comes alive. You’re not departing from it — you’re stepping into it. Deeper. Bolder. On your own terms. With your own voice.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Show up once. See if it fits. We think you'll find what you've been looking for — a community that actually means it when they say "you belong here."
BEFORE YOU TALK YOURSELF OUT OF IT

Let us answer a few things first.

What age range is Thankful Live? +
Ages 18 to 30. College students, post-grads, early career, newly married, single — if you're in this season, you're in.
I haven't been to church in years. Is that okay? +
More than okay. Some of our most active members said the same thing their first week. There's no catching up to do. Just show up and let God meet you where you are.
Is this just for singles? +
Not at all. Single, dating, engaged, newly married — we're a community built around a life stage, not a relationship status. Everyone's welcome.
When do you meet? +
Thankful Live gathers regularly for worship, teaching, and community. Check our calendar or reach out for the current schedule.
