Young Adults

Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.   –1 Timothy 4:12

Whatever you're doing as you start your adult life, God wants to be a part of it. Whether it's going to school, working, or joining the military, #Adulting can be challenging. Make the transition to a young professional a little easier by joining other like-minded young persons and journey together.

Meet Matt

Matt, and his wife, Anne Claire, are from Greenville, AL. In 2017, he earned his bachelor from Auburn University (WAR EAGLE!) and in 2020, his Masters from Candler School of Theology. Matt's so excited to be living at the beach. He loves to play music (drums, guitar, and piano), play tennis and golf, and plans to add paddleboarding to his list of activities soon.

Have questions? Pastor Matt can answer them for you. If you're ready to sign up for a group, you can do that in this form as well.

Every 2nd Monday night we will meet from 7-8 at Cross Corner for a time of worship. We will have music led by other young adults from our group and Pastor Matt will share a lesson with us. We will have food and activities on this night and provide an avenue to invite new friends to join us and create a more casual environment.
