Young adults are invited to attend Young Adult Conference 2018. YAC will be held at Camp Brethren Woods (near Keezletown, Va.) on May 25-27, and is planned specifically to enrich the faith journeys of those aged 18-35. This year’s theme is “Teach with Your Life,” based on 1 Timothy 4:11-16.

“We all have a story, gifts, and powerful experiences to share. Our paths might not always be clear or steadfast, but this scripture teaches us to persevere. In times of uncertainty, fear, and hatred, we must continue to be empowered and inspire others to spread God’s word and love,” said Jessie Houff. “What can you teach the world?”

Leadership for the weekend includes preachers Christopher Michael, Dawna Welch, and Logan Schrag; music coordinator Jacob Crouse; and worship coordinator Sarah Neher. In addition to four worship services, the weekend will include workshops, recreation, and plenty of time for fellowship and fun.

Online registration opens Feb. 1, 2018, at www.brethren.org . The registration fee of $150 includes programming, lodging, and food. A non-refundable deposit of $75 is due within two weeks of registering. BVS scholarships and local church scholarships are available by request (contact Becky Ullom Naugle, bullomnaugle@brethren.org). After April 30, a late registration fee of $25 will be applied.

YAC is planned by the Young Adult Steering Committee: Emmett Witkovsky-Eldred (Washington D.C.), Emmy Goering (McPherson, Kan.), Jessie Houff (Baltimore, Md.), Krystal Bellis (Ankeny, Iowa), Renee Neher (Lombard, Ill.), and Rudy Amaya (Pasadena, Calif.). Becky Ullom Naugle, director of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, facilitates the committee’s work.
