Young Adults
Building authentic friendships and a faith strong enough for the season you are actually in.
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.
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
Who This Ministry Is For
- Anyone aged roughly 19 to 30 — students, professionals, married or single.
- People new to Aurora who are looking for genuine community.
- Young adults wrestling with faith, calling and what comes next.
- Anyone tired of surface-level church and ready for something real.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have a question that is not answered here? We would genuinely rather you asked than wondered.
I am brand new to Aurora. Is this a good place to start?
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.
Do I have to come every week?
No. Come when you can. Shift work, study deadlines and life happen — you will be welcomed back without a word of guilt.
Is it just for single people?
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.
What actually happens on a Thursday?
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.
