Young Adults Ministry
Do you sometimes get that feeling that you've grown up to be a youth member but you're still young and fresh at heart to mingle with the Elders?
The Young Adult Ministry is where you belong. This ministry is aimed at closing the gap between the youth and the elderly. St Thomas has identified a need for a ministry that will bring together all members that could not identify themselves in the structure of the Church. There is great potential, skill and resources, to name a few blessings that the Church is unable to utilize or benefit from because of members not being able to find their position in the Church.
