Walking Purposefully: Our Young Adult Ministry

Studies suggest that holding onto young people in the church, once they graduate from high school, is very challenging.

So, at Salem, we offer Walking Purposefully; our post high school, young adult ministry for young people to connect with others at their own age and stage.Walking Purposefully got its name based on Deuteronomy 8:6 which says, “So you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God by walking in his ways and by fearing him.” As young adults with our lives ahead of us and so many paths before us, we want to make getting to know God’s Word and his heart a priority to learn how to practically apply the Scriptures to our daily lives- making the best choices, living with purpose, and reflecting our Savior well so, by our example, others will want to do the same.

Walking Purposefully is led by Todd and Vicki Heckman. They have meaningful times of study on Sunday mornings during the Sunday school Hour.

If you are out of high school, and don’t feel comfortable to join the ‘old folks’ (mostly 30+) in study groups, Walking Purposefully may be a great place to connect. it is designed for those who are out of high school, up through early twenties. Check it out!
