Engagement

Welcome to Young Adult Engagement Ministry

Wherever you are, you belong.

Whether you're navigating college, launching your career, building relationships, starting a family, or simply figuring out what's next, you don’t have to go it alone. At Prince of Peace, we believe all of life is sacred ground, and that young adulthood is especially rich with the possibility of deep growth, real questions, and powerful transformation. We’re here to journey with you.

We’d love for you to join this new spiritual community! We take these easy hikes at a casual, conversational pace. You are welcome to stay afterward and enjoy some food and connection. Trail Church is great for kids and families, and it's a safe space for all humans! Come as you are, bring a friend, and discover the beauty of walking in faith together.

Learn About Our Seven Cultural Touchstones

We want to be a trusted Christian resource and a vibrant center for spiritual engagement for people in the first half of their adult lives. We're here to walk with you.

We are guided by seven touchstones: radical hospitality, spiritual depth, healing community, journeying together, finding the fun, holding on to hope, and missional living. Read more about these ideas here.

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Companionship or Spiritual Direction offers a compassionate and imaginative space for exploring the Sacred, one that honors the wisdom within each person and the diversity of the human spirit. As a Spiritual Director, Pastor Rory enjoys working with young adults and the young at heart to help people experience sacredness in their lives and within themselves. If you’re curious if spiritual direction might be right for you, reach out to schedule a free intro session. Sessions are available in person and online.
