VENTURE
YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES
Venture
The purpose of Venture is to establish a community of young adults, ages 22–30, who desire to mature in faith and be transformed into the image of Christ. This community is created through the regular Venture Deep Small Groups, monthly Venture Together Fun Events, and our Venture Out Evangelism & Service events. Venture provides a connection to the larger church community by engaging its members in multi-generational service and fellowship.
Venture Community Groups
Sunday Men's Group
The Book of Colossians
This group of young adult men will be studying through the book of Colossians this semester. What we think about Jesus matters. Our perception of Him shapes us—what we say, how we treat others, and even what we think. If we paint Jesus as any less than who He is, as supreme over all creation and savior of the world, not only does our theology slip, but the working out of our faith also suffers.
What we believe about Him influences everything from corporate worship to our relationships to our attitude toward sin. Now alive in Christ, we can live a life worthy of God instead of falling back into the ways of the world.

This group will meet weekly for a time of Bible Study, prayer, and fellowship. Please click the link below to register for this group!
Monday Women's Group
Testimonies and Genuine Faith
This group of young adult women will start off the semester by sharing our stories with one another to be encouraged by the ways God has worked in our lives. After that, we will study together what it looks like practically in our lives to be living out a genuine faith.

Small Group
The Book of Daniel
This group of young adults is a coed group of singles and married individuals.
They will be doing a study through Daniel, using David Helm's book "Daniel: Staying Strong in a Hostile World."
​
How can we remain faithful to God in a world that rejects him? Is it worth standing firm? This semester, we will see how Daniel and his friends seek to remain faithful in a foreign land, and then we will learn about the visions Daniel received, outlining how God would bring his people home to live in his kingdom and under his king.
They will meet weekly for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Please click the link below to register for this group!
When: Tuesday Nights, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: Middletown

Wednesday
Small Group
Your Story Has A Villain
This group of young adults is a coed group of singles and couples.
They will be participating in a five-week study called "Your Story Has A Villain." This study is designed to help us identify Spiritual Warfare and learn how to defeat the Enemy.
​
There is an Enemy among us. You may know who he is, but you may not know what he is about. Do you know how he wages war? Do you know how he targets you specifically? He’s the villain who wants to change your story in the hopes you live isolated, powerless, discouraged, and defeated. This five-week series will help you explore the tactics of Satan, equip you to overcome spiritual battles, and remind you of the victory already secured through Jesus.

Thursday Women's Group
The Book of Ecclesiastes
This group of young adult women will start the semester with a brief study on prayer, and then they will spend the rest of the semester studying the book of Ecclesiastes.​
​
In the study of Ecclesiastes, we will learn that life is a gift, but it rarely turns out how we expect. We’re convinced things like wealth, power, fame, and control will give us meaning and lead us to a flourishing life—but, every time, they let us down. So, where do we go when the bottom falls out? Where do we turn when things are going great, but we still feel empty?
​
This semester, we will see how the book of Ecclesiastes shows us that we are not alone in our search for meaning, and we will discover how God himself, not the things of this world, satisfies our deepest desires for meaning.
