St. Titus’ Episcopal Church Younger Adults Group

To foster the growth and life of the church, we need to nurture and support the young people of our congregation. At St. Titus’ Episcopal Church in Durham, NC, a historically black congregation, we want to support and strengthen our Young Adult community by continuing and growing our Younger Adult Group. Started in January of 2023 by Dr. Jenifer Brown and Henry Kennelly, the goal of the Younger Adult group is to provide a space for younger members of the congregation to gather and discuss scripture and spiritual texts. In our biweekly gatherings, we share our life stories, struggles, and victories, find support in each other, and nurture close bonds with each other. To expand our mission of fostering community and developing leaders within the church, we will use our grant to support the growth of this group for the next 2 years through activities during biweekly meetings and events that engage other young Episcopalians in the surrounding Durham community.
