This gathering will help young adult voting members  (voting members who are between the ages 18-30) connect with each other and will provide opportunities for young adults to learn about churchwide ministries and leadership opportunities. It will also provide a context for understanding churchwide participation as a part of one's vocation and recognize and honor the service of young adult voting members to the 2007 Churchwide Assembly. There will be additional opportunities for young adult voting members to connect with each other throughout the assembly.

Registration is limited to young adults who are voting members to the assembly.
