College Students & Young Adults
Glenn's College & Young Adult Ministry is open to anyone ages 18-30s, but there's no hard cut off. "Young adult" is a life stage, not an age. We have graduate students, young professionals, single folks, married couples, and more. All are welcome here! The Young Adult Ministry is open-minded, justice-seeking, and LGBTQ+ affirming. Bring your whole self, and come as you are. Read below for details on the Young Adults and College ministries.
Young Adults
Glenn Young Adults meet every Sunday morning at Glenn Memorial UMC for Sunday School at 9:45AM in the Church School Building, room 401 on the top floor. If you're an early riser, meet us after the 8:30 service in Glenn's Little Chapel. If mornings aren't your thing, join us at Sunday School and then head over to the Sanctuary for the 11 o'clock service. No preparation needed, and no prior Sunday School experience required! This is a great, low-barrier entry for studying scripture together. Plus, donuts!
Glenn Young Adults meet on Tuesday nights at 7PM at various bars and breweries around Decatur. Join for fellowship and casual and engaging theological discussions. To stay informed about our location each week, reach out to Sutton at ssmith@glennumc.org or join the Young Adults GroupMe here. In addition to our weekly gatherings, the Young Adults get together each month for fellowship and service opportunities.
