WHAT IS THE J PROJECT?


WHAT ON EARTH IS EARTH?

Earth "Grounding Young Adults in Christian Faith" is the Centre for Young Adult Ministry and part of the Mission Resourcing Network of the Uniting Church in SA.

We are based at Rosefield Uniting Church. If you are about 18 - 35 years old, want to be a part of a wider Uniting Church group and meet other Christian young adults, Earth is for you!   But Earth is not just for singles!  Whether you are single, married with kids or without...you are welcome.  Over the past 8 years we have organised a huge number of events such as worship services, breakfasts, conferences, retreats, forums and social events providing an opportunity for young adults to grow in faith and leadership skills while enjoying making new friends. In 2010 Earth will continue to run our annual Leadership for Life Conference and some events such as networking breakfasts. However our focus is moving into resourcing and supporting congregations and faith communities in their own local young adult ministries. For more info contact the Earth Team.

WHAT IS THE J PROJECT?

A NEW DIRECTION FOR EARTH!!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT – EXCITING NEWS AND OPPORTUNITY!

From 2010, Earth will be heading down a new path that will see us working more closely with congregations and interested groups to support and empower them in developing their own young adult ministries. While we will continue some of the valuable events and opportunities that we have been offering throughout the last 8 years – such as the annual Leadership for Life Conference – you will notice we won’t have such a full calendar of events. We’re still exploring what this might look like ‘in real life’ but it may include:

- Earth offering a form of ‘consultancy’ to congregations who want support in nurturing young adults

- Resourcing the broader church community for young adult ministry, e.g. offering small group resources for loan, rejuvenating the Earth website as a resource for young adults and people working with young adults

- Advocacy for young adults within the SA Synod
The leadership team is eager to develop our new direction further, and we’ll certainly keep you posted via the Earth email and the website as things progress. If this is something that you are passionate about or interested in and would like to know more or think you may be interested in joining the Earth Management team, please contact us on
earth@rosefield.org.au or 8271 9528.

Earth will be working to support your own church to better provide resources and events to allow you to flourish and we are still passionate about connecting young adults across congregations.

If you are working to support young adults we will be endeavouring to work with you to offer the best opportunities for young adults in your community. Please feel free to contact us with your concerns, needs, hopes, and ideas for young adult ministry in SA.

We look forward to continuing to support and encourage you in your faith, life, and continued ministries. In peace and hope, The Earth Management Team
