We're looking to reach the unengaged young adults in Dodge County and the surrounding areas.

"Unengaged" means that a person is not regularly involved in a church or small group. We're striving to close the age gap in our churches!

This is a Non-Denominational event and everyone is invited.

See the groups Facebook page here.
