Young Adults & Campus Ministry

Young Adult and Campus Ministry (YACM) is dedicated to supporting and nurturing individuals aged 18-30, whether they are in college, recently graduated, or starting their professional journey. We offer spiritual growth, fellowship, and opportunities for leadership development, service, and engagement in the wider church community.

Prov V stands for Providence V which we are a part of in Diocese of Wisconsin along with several of our surrounding states! It comprises eleven dioceses across the six midwestern states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Providence V has several Young Adult and Campus Ministry Resources. We have included those in each of our ministries above, but you can find out more and reach Prov V Campus Ministry Developer at: https://www.provincev.org/cmd.html

YACM is open to all young adults, including college students, recent graduates, and those beginning their professional lives. Whether you're looking for a deeper connection with God, a supportive community, or opportunities for service and leadership, we welcome everyone into the YACM community.

As a Young Adult:

There are many ways to get involved! You can join campus events if in college. Not in school? We got you! Attend gatherings or Bible studies, volunteer for service projects, or participate in fellowship activities. We also offer leadership opportunities for those looking to grow their faith and make a difference on and off campus.

As a Church:

Getting involved with Young Adult and Campus Ministry (YACM) as a church is simple and impactful. Here are some ways you can get started:

Partner with Campus Ministries: Reach out to local colleges and universities to connect with existing campus ministry groups. We can help you build relationships and explore partnership opportunities for supporting students in your area.

Start a YACM Group at Your Church: If there isn't an existing campus ministry in your area, consider starting a young adult ministry at your church. YACM provides resources and guidance to help you develop a group that meets the needs of young adults in your community.

Volunteer for Events and Retreats: YACM organizes regional events, retreats, and service projects. Your church can get involved by providing volunteers, hosting events, or helping organize retreats that welcome young adults from across the Diocese of Wisconsin.

Provide Financial Support: Consider supporting YACM through donations or fundraising efforts. Your contributions help fund events, outreach, and programs that create opportunities for young adults to grow in faith and leadership.

Pray for the Ministry: One of the most important ways your church can get involved is by praying for the young adults in your congregation and on college campuses. Pray for the growth of the ministry, for students seeking faith, and for leaders who are making a difference in their communities.

Regional retreats are weekend or day-long events designed to bring together young adults from various campuses and states for spiritual renewal, fellowship, and fun. These retreats often feature guest speakers, group discussions, and time for prayer and reflect
