Young Adults

Elevate Young Adult Ministry is made up of students, working young adults, graduates, and young married couples. Our goal is to create a community of young adults who are helping each other discover Jesus Christ and move toward a life centered on him. This fall we're offering a number of events and opportunities for you to be part of that kind of community.

Elevate Summer Schedule
Elevate is going monthly for the summer at a new time. Gather with other young adults on the last Sunday of the month for an evening to connect with friends and connect with God through worship and teaching. This is an opportunity for young adults to get together and encourage each other toward loving Christ and serving others. Includes free dinner.
June 27, July 25 & August 29
7:00-9:00PM
Meeting Place

Elevate Summer BBQs
A couple times during the summer we’ll be gathering young adults and college age students for a barbecue. It’s a great time to invite a friend, make new friends, or catch up with ones you haven’t seen. Dinner is free - just show up!
July 17th & September 11th
2:00-4:00PM
Boulevard Park

Small Groups
At CTK, you'll find that small groups are a big deal. We believe that there is no substitute for Christian community for both the believer and the non-believer. Doing life together, knowing Christ and making him known is the business of the church.

Elevate's small groups meet throughout the week during the evenings. Topics and curriculum vary along with each leader and group. We want to know you and ask that you join us in our mission to reach the lost, hurt and broken people of Whatcom County. New Summer groups will be starting in mid July and will run through the end of August. Register online here or call Ryan Ervin for more information at 733.1337.

Groups to choose from include:

Let Story Guide You.
Life is a story. Make yours count. What would it be like to live the epic adventures we see in movies? In his trademark humorous and personal style, Donald Miller challenges viewers to become the heroes of their own story and make their lives count.
Wednesdays 7:00pm
Guys Only
Leader: Eric Olson

The Prodigal God
This curriculum comes with a 2-minute DVD clip to watch each week as you focus in on the parable of the prodigal son. The Prodigal God is a dramatic six-week group study based on the prodigal son. This teaching resource illustrates that the gospel is neither religion nor irreligion, neither morality nor immorality, but something else entirely. 
Thursdays at 7:00pm-8:30pm
Guys Only
Leader: Brandon Boatman 
* Book Purchase required ($13)

Prayer - Opening Your Heart to God
If you long for a spiritual life that is deep, fruitful, and profoundly real, these studies will help you draw heart to heart with God. 
Wednesdays 7:00pm
Ladies Only
Leader: Brittany Esbenshade

Philippians: Run the Race
Life as a follower of Christ is not a fifty-yard dash. It's a marathon. God offers strength for the race, cold water to quench our thirst, and fresh legs when we grow weary. We never run alone. He is always right beside us cheering us on or ahead of us leading the way. Do you need energy and refreshment for the race of life? In Philippians, find all you need to run with strength and confidence. 
Tuesdays 7:00-9:00pm
Ladies Only
Leader: Anna Pilon

Discovering God's Will for Your Life (CLOSED)
Each week this study features a different question. Some examples are, Is God's Will Really So Mysterious? What are you Chasing? Praying for God's Will, Contentment, Holiness and it starts with a session that drives home the point: God's Will is Relationship. 
Wednesdays at 7:00pm
Ladies Only
Leader: Taryn Dunkin

Relationship Series
We are passionate about relationships. There is no shortage of great books and information regarding everything Christian, but it always seems to be relationships that help and influence others towards Jesus. We want to do relationships well.

Elevate hosts a Relationship Series with new content every quarter that addresses how to be single, date, be engaged and married in ways that honor Jesus and his Church. No topic is off limits, and we're not afraid to bring up tough subjects. But we always do this in a way that reflects God's grace and God's truth.
