"Young adults, the church needs you. We need you now.  We need you to help us become who we are all yearning to become."

President Steve Veazey
Address to the church on April 5, 2009

See it  — Hear it

We've officially completed our "gathering" phase!
The First Presidency and Erica Blevins Nye have met with over 30 young adult groups around the globe!

Our next phase: Build a response.
The First Presidency and other church leaders have called a meeting with a small, international group of young adults to explore what we can all to do address the hopes and concerns we shared in our gatherings. The group will meet in late April.  Please keep them in your prayers!

The Vision Project

In his address to the church on April 5, 2009, Steve Veazey and the First Presidency committed to visit with young adults everywhere to capture our vision for Community of Christ.  The Vision Project is their "world tour" to meet with us.

The Reason

Young adults are vital for Community of Christ to offer relevant ministry in today's world.  We are sensitive to the realities of our fast-changing globe.  We naturally navigate postmodern culture socially, technologically, and spiritually.  And we are deeply aware of where the world most needs the healing and Peace of Jesus Christ.  Community of Christ needs our fresh vision to understand who God is calling us to become next.

Church leadership is deeply aware of this. 
They want to hear our voice about...

  • How is the mission and message of Jesus Christ most relevant in our world now?
  • Where do we see the greatest need for Community of Christ ministry in the world today?
  • What new models or methods will it take to make it happen?
  • Where will we step up to take the lead?
