Young Adults
We love this season of life!
We have many young adults in our region’s churches, from all different backgrounds. Some are in larger churches with lots of students, others in smaller settings where there are just a few falling into this age range.
If YOU fall into this category we are passionate about you being an integral part of church life in this season of discovery whilst you question, grow and adventure into adulthood, your work and home life.
We want to enable you to step into who you are in your faith, your discipleship life, in leadership roles and creating welcome space for your friends and communities.
We want to hear your voice and your ideas and journey with you as you explore and go deeper in your faith.

SEEK First
A city-wide worship event for Young Adults
Sheffield Cathedral - 25 January 2025 at 7pm
The YBA has been part of this ecumenical worship night in Sheffield in recent years with regional minister Nike Adebajo helping lead 2024 event along side young young adults from Baptist churches in the region.
Day: Saturday 25 January 2025
Time: 19:00
Location: Sheffield Cathedral (Church St, Sheffield, S1 1HA)
Seek First is aiming to gathering the whole Church to Seek First the Kingdom of God through worship, communion and prayer.
Their vision is as follows “We believe the Lord is calling his church in this region to gather together to Seek Jesus; in the words of Matt 6.33 to ‘seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness…’ (Matt 6:33).
We seek to create a space, calling God’s people to be consecrated to God alone.
Our agenda is to the pursuit of the Lord; ministering in, with and to His presence in worship and prayer.”

Intern
We offer a range of internships for ‘Young Adults’ across our Churches and Church Plants.
These are exciting opportunities to explore openings and roles within the church. You can gain valuable life skills and experiences transferable to all areas of life and the workplace, and you can test out any calling to ministry.
Ministry School
Internships can be either Part-Time or Full-Time and include training and input from ‘The Deeper School of Ministry’.
The Deeper School of Ministry can also be accessed by anyone wanting to go a little deeper in their faith. www.wellsheffield.com/deeper
For more information on Internships, please watch the video and get in contact with Naomi.
Discipleship Hub
Discipleship Hub is a gathering, worship and teaching space to journey into what it is to live following Jesus today - setting our lives up well. We had our first gathering back in October at Hillsborough Baptist Church.
We aim to meet three times per year, on a Saturday. The Hub provides space to connect with other Adults, a set of worship to enable you to freely connect with God, and a teaching slot to engage with the bible, our faith and what it means for our lives in today’s culture. New dates will be posted as soon as we have them.
Discipleship Hub is aimed at anyone who is a follower of Jesus, or wanting to know more about what it is to follow Jesus and have a relationship with our God.
