Young Adults

Building authentic friendships and a faith strong enough for the season you are actually in.

Shanah Young Adults

About Young Adults

Your twenties are a decade of enormous decisions — career, relationships, identity, money, calling — usually made with the least support you have ever had. Shanah Young Adults exists so that you are not making them alone.

We gather midweek for worship, honest teaching and real conversation, then eat together far longer than we planned to. If you are new to Aurora, this is the fastest way to stop feeling new.

Our Purpose

Why Shanah Young Adults Exists

To build a community of young adults who are rooted in Scripture, honest about real life, and equipped to carry their faith into their careers, relationships and calling.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together.”Hebrews 10:24–25

Good To Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question that is not answered here? We would genuinely rather you asked than wondered.

It is honestly one of the best. A large share of our group moved here for work or study within the last two years, so nobody has to explain what it is like to start over. Come once and you will already know a few names.

No. Come when you can. Shift work, study deadlines and life happen — you will be welcomed back without a word of guilt.

Not at all. We have singles, dating couples and young married couples in the group, and the teaching is written with all of them in mind.

Doors open at 6:45 PM. We worship for about 25 minutes, there is teaching and open discussion for around 40, then we pray for each other and eat. Most people leave around 9:30 PM.
