Young adults

Our goal is to continually build a community of friends who serve together, learn together, and share life’s ups and downs together. We would love for you to be a part of it.

Whether you are new to Charlotte or have been here for your whole life, you’ll find a community built on faith, compassion, generosity, and love here at Covenant. We strive to be a place where each and every person feels supported, while also being a ministry which serves the wider community and world.  

Registration is now open for Covenant’s Young Adult Retreat, October 13th – 15th! We’ll spend the weekend at Dreaming Stone, an Arts and Ecology Center in Rutherfordton, NC. There will be opportunities for shared meals, quiet reflection, disc golf, hiking, camping, and worship. Cost is $200 with a $100 nonrefundable deposit due at registration. Space is limited and a waitlist will be made available.

September: 
Park Play Date: YA Parents and Families are invited to join us for another “Park Play Date” in Latta Park on Saturday, September 9th from 9:00am – 11:00am. We’ll meet by the playground (with coffee!) and enjoy an opportunity to connect with old and new friends. While an RSVP is not necessary, it will help us plan accordingly. If you plan to join us, please email Frances Yarbrough.
Second Saturday Service: On Saturday, September 12th, from 10am-12pm, Covenant YA will spend a morning at McCreesh Place with residents. Join us and play BINGO!, contribute breakfast food items, or both!  Sign up here.

Interested in picking up a new skill, while also spending time with your Covenant friends? Sign up to join! 

At Covenant Young Adults, we believe that we are called to learn with and from each other. That’s why we have multiple opportunities for community learning throughout the year. We hope you’ll take advantage of these events: they are a wonderful way to grow in faith while getting to know some great people.

Covenant is a large congregation, but we understand the importance of small, close-knit, communities. That’s why we encourage our members and participants to be involved in a small group. These groups are great places to build friendships, learn, and pray. Below are our group options

The Path: An Accessible Group For Women
The Path is a group for any young adult woman – but with a special focus on those who are new to Covenant or to the Christian faith. The group encourages faith-centered learning and fun fellowship: it’s a great place to get to know new friends! The Path will meet the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month from 7:00-8:00pm on Zoom. Questions? Contact Grace Williams.

Young Adult Men’s Group
Join fellow young adult men for a chance to foster faith-centered friendships through conversation and prayer. Contact Steven Howell for more details.

Faith & Fellowship
Offering a place for joyful friendships and meaningful conversation, Faith and Fellowship is supportive group for young adult women. They are a diverse community of people of all ages and stages.

Young Adult Mothers Group
Come enjoy fellowship with young adult mothers, expectant mothers, and those who pray to be mothers soon! Contact Christie Collins for more information.

On the second Saturday morning of each month, we offer young adults the opportunity to work side by side to serve their neighbors across Charlotte. Collaborating with ministry partners across Charlotte and the wider region, Covenant Young Adults offers you the opportunity to make a real impact. Contact us to learn more about upcoming opportunities.

Throughout the year, we gather to support significant group projects such as Covenant Impacts Charlotte (our church-wide day of service), Habitat for Humanity builds, or environmental cleanups. We'd love to have you participate in our next one!

We encourage young adults to participate in Covenant-sponsored mission trips around the world. These offerings occur throughout the year and are a great way to serve, learn, and build connections across our church community.

At Covenant Young Adults we strive to cultivate meaningful, lasting, and faith-centered friendships. As such, we create regular opportunities for you to meet new people and strengthen existing relationships. We hope you will consider joining us! Our fellowship events are always open to all young adults and they are a great way to plug in if you are new to Charlotte or Covenant.

First Sunday Community Meal
On the first Sunday of each month we gather at a local restaurant at 12:30 to share a meal and conversation together. It is a great way to catch-up, meet new friends, and explore the city! Contact us to learn more about the next one!

Seasonal and Special Events
Throughout the year we host some great special and seasonal events, such as our Spring Social, Fall Kick Off, Friendsgiving, and Christmas Party. We'd love to welcome you to our next one!

Quarterly Happy Hours
Every three months we offer an informal happy hour at one of Charlotte's amazing breweries! These casual Thursday evening gatherings are a fun way to connect and get ready for the week ahead!
