Idlewild Young Adults Take a Next Step
Vision Collective Groups Team Take a Next Step

young adults

The Young Adults of Idlewild. Real community, God's truth, and a room full of people who'll know your name by the end of the night.

Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is. Come as you are, leave as He is.
the vision

The college ministry at Idlewild is a place where college students find real community, grow in God's truth, and learn to depend on Him through prayer. Here, students are built into rooted followers of Jesus who live on mission, step into leadership in the church, and make an impact on their campuses and the nations.

Collective

One night, every week, all of us in one room. Worship that actually moves, teaching that's direct and practical. We meet every week to lift up the name of Jesus, join together in community, and hear solid truth from the Word of God. This is the best way to be a part of our community.

the format

Worship

We gather to lift praise to God together, creating space for genuine worship that honors His name.

the format

Truth

We dive into Scripture because God's Word is truth. Direct, practical, and life-changing — no fluff.

the format

Community

We join together over free dinner every week, discussing the message and connecting over what's happening in our lives.

small groups

Growth happens in groups.

Our groups meet Sunday mornings at 11:00 AM after the 9:15 AM service. Join us at service and then connect in groups — this is crucial time to study God's Word, build lasting relationships, and grow together in community.

rhythm

Every Sunday

11:00 AM in E Hall. Same time, same people. Consistency builds community.

study

God's Word

We dig into Scripture together, wrestling with what it means and how it applies to our lives.

community

Real Connection

Small enough to know each other deeply. Large enough to feel the family of God.

Lasting Relationships

We're not just a class — we're doing life together. That's where real growth happens.
