What's Happening in College and Singles Ministry?: An Inside Look at Reaching the Next Generation

Pastor Kent Dresdow sits down with Adam Chiappelone, NorthCreek's Director of College and Singles, for a wide-ranging conversation about the church's ministry to young adults. Adam shares his own story — from a near-fatal fall at Yosemite that God used to arrest his attention, to his training at Talbot and Master's Seminary, to nearly two decades of shepherding college students and singles at NorthCreek. The conversation covers the structure and vision behind Interchange, Impact, and Kaleo, the challenges facing this generation (fragmented attention, weak spiritual disciplines, and the erosion of rest), and what it looks like to disciple young people toward real commitments — to Christ, to the local church, and to one another. Adam also shares the story behind Kērussō, NorthCreek's campus ministry at UC Berkeley, which grew from a conversation with three women and a commitment to simply open the Bible.Do you have the kind of spiritual habits that could serve as a model to a younger believer who is watching your life? If you are in a season of singleness, are you using it as a season of purposeful growth rather than waiting for life to begin? When is the last time you genuinely unplugged long enough to sit with God and his Word without distraction? And for those further along — are you actively investing in the generation behind you, or leaving that work to someone else?Welcome to NorthCreek Church!In glad reliance on the Holy Spirit and Scripture, we exist for the glory of Christ, to make disciples who worship God, walk in love, and witness to the world.Connect With Us:Sunday Services: 9:00AM & 10:45AM Address: 2303 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek, CA 94598Online Resources:Main Website: https://www.northcreek.org/ NorthCreek Academy (TK-8): https://ncapschool.org/ Sermon Archive: https://northcreek.churchcenter.com/channels/19901 Church App: Download the Church Center App and search for "NorthCreek Church"
