CERTIFIED

CERTIFIED is more than the name of our Young Adult Ministry. It is a declaration of who we are becoming in Christ.
Young adulthood is a season where people are establishing identity, purpose, relationships, careers, beliefs, and direction. CERTIFIED exists to help young adults become rooted in Christ while navigating real life.
We don't just want young adults to know about Christ. We want them to be CERTIFIED in Christ.

Colossians 2:6–7
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him...”

This is the foundation of CERTIFIED.
Being Certified in Christ means our lives are rooted in Him, built on Him, and lived through Him.

• Our careers can change.
• Our relationships can change.
• Our circumstances can change.
• Our seasons can change.

But Christ remains our foundation.

CERTIFIED = Rooted, Equipped, and Sent.
ROOTED
We establish our identity and faith in Christ.
EQUIPPED
We develop the spiritual, relational, and practical tools to navigate adulthood God's way.
SENT
We take what God is doing in us and carry it into our campuses, workplaces, relationships, families, and communities.

Young adults don't just need another event to attend.
They need a place to belong, grow, become, and be sent.
CERTIFIED creates an environment where young adults can:

• Discover who they are in Christ
• Build authentic community
• Grow spiritually
• Navigate real-life challenges through biblical truth
• Discover their God-given purpose
• Develop leadership
• Become confident in their faith
• Impact the world around them

The goal is to move young adults:
From attending → to belonging
From believing → to becoming
From consuming → to contributing
From being discipled → to making disciples
From finding purpose → to living purpose
Ultimately:
CERTIFIED is about developing a generation of young adults who are so rooted in Christ that their faith influences every area of their lives.
