VENTURE
YOUNG ADULT MINISTRIES
Venture
The purpose of Venture is to establish a community of young adults, ages 22–30, who desire to mature in faith and be transformed into the image of Christ. This community is created through the regular Venture Deep Small Groups, monthly Venture Together Fun Events, and our Venture Out Evangelism & Service events. Venture provides a connection to the larger church community by engaging its members in multi-generational service and fellowship.
Venture Community Groups
Monday Women's Group
The Book of 1 Kings
Ladies! You are invited to join us for the Venture Monday Women’s Group, meeting Mondays from 6:30–8:30 PM at the Ross Home in Mechanicsburg. Together, we’ll be walking through the book of 1 Kings, where we will look at the life of Solomon, the kings, the prophets, and the exile of Israel.
This is a powerful story of leadership, wisdom, and the challenges of staying faithful to God in a world full of distractions. As young adults navigating decisions, ambitions, and relationships, 1 Kings offers real-life lessons on integrity, trust, and the kind of foundation we choose to build our lives on. This is a great opportunity to grow in faith and community with other women pursuing God’s best.

Wonderfully Made by Allie Marie Smith
Join us for the Monday Women's Venture Group at Living Water, meeting Mondays from 6:30–8:30 PM in the Main Building Upper Lobby. Together we’ll walk through Wonderfully Made by Allie Marie Smith, a study that speaks to the deep questions of worth, purpose, and identity that so many women face. Through honest conversation and God’s truth, we’ll discover that we are not defined by our struggles or achievements but by the One who lovingly created us. Come connect, be encouraged, and grow in the abundant life God has made you for.

Wednesday Co-ed Group
The Minor Prophets
The Venture Wednesday Co-ed Group meets Mondays from 7:00–9:00 PM at the Alrutz Home in Linglestown. This fall, we’ll be diving into the Minor Prophets, a collection of short but powerful books that speak into real issues like injustice, idolatry, hope, and God’s faithfulness. Though written centuries ago, these messages still resonate today, reminding us that God calls His people to live with purpose, courage, and trust in Him no matter the circumstances. This is a great space to grow in faith, build friendships, and see how God’s Word speaks directly into our everyday lives.​
