The Young Adult Commission's purpose is to connect and empower Young Adults to engage in the ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) - Young Adult Commission mission statement, adopted February 22, 2009.

Now that General Assembly is over, the Young Adult Commission is currently at work on a Young Adult Conference for the Fall of 2010.  If you have any input or wish to help out and volunteer, please contact the YAC using the 'contact us' link to the right.

2009 General Assembly Explored Wholeness for All

Disciples from all walks of life gathered in Indianapolis from July 29 to August 2, 2009 for the church’s biennial Assembly. Attendees came from across the United States and Canada – and in many cases from around the world – to worship, learn, fellowship and discuss the future of our Church. The 2009 General Assembly centered its work around Revelation 22:2 …“And the leaves of the trees shall be for the healing of the nations.” In choosing this verse as the centerpiece and guiding scriptural reference, organizers sought to complement the Disciples’ new identity statement (We are Disciples of Christ, a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world) with a theme of relevance, energy, conviction – and healing.
