A Place for Youth

It is often said that youth are the future of the church.  It’s not true – we”re the NOW.  At Southminster-Steinhauer we know that that young adults are amazing people capable of brilliance, depth, and leadership.  This isn’t a place we “graduate from.” It’s a place where we can explore and practice the skills of living a life of value and meaning – a place where we live and learn the kind of values that ultimately will help us build the kind of world we want to live in.

What’s here for us?

As a community of youth at Southminster-Steinhauer, we attempt to learn about the world, others, ourselves by doing  things that make a difference in life.

Whether its meeting at the “Steinbuck Cafe” on a Sunday morning, or for weekend events, or in a learning project, you can be sure that we want to learn, help, live a life of compassion and meaning, all while having fun and making the kind of relationships that last a lifetime.
