Welcome to MDPC Young Adults!

Trying to figure out who you are, where you’re going, and what really matters? You’re not alone. The years between 18 and 35 are full of transition - new freedom, big decisions, deep questions, and a desire for something more than just going through the motions.

MDPC Young Adults is a Christ-centered community for all young adults navigating college, careers, relationships, and faith in the middle of real life. Whether you’re a single or married college student, recent graduate, or young professional, you are welcome here.

In the diverse city of Houston, we strive to create a safe and authentic space where young adults can belong, grow, and be challenged. These years matter - they are formative, faith-shaping, and full of possibility. Together, we explore what it means to follow Jesus in real life, be grounded in Scripture, and live out the gospel in our everyday rhythms.

Through meaningful relationships, biblical teaching, and opportunities to serve, MDPC Young Adults is committed to helping young people connect relationally, grow biblically, and engage missionally - not just within the church, but in the world around us.

If you’re looking for community, purpose, and a faith that’s lived out with intention, we invite you to take a step, meet new people, and discover how God is at work in and through this generation.

I'm a Young Adult and Want to Get Connected

Support Outreach to Young Adults

Connect Relationally

We were never meant to do life alone. From the very beginning, God designed us for relationship - for being known, supported, and loved in community. Yet in the middle of busy class schedules, demanding jobs, and full home lives, it’s easy to feel disconnected or isolated, even when we’re constantly surrounded by people.

At MDPC Young Adults, we create space for real connection. This is a community where friendships are formed, stories are shared, and life is lived together through every season and stage. We hope that you find meaningful relationships here - people who walk with you, encourage you, and remind you that you don’t have to navigate life or faith on your own.

 

Grow Biblically

Growth is part of every meaningful season of life - and our faith is no different. We grow when we’re nourished, challenged, and given space to develop. Yet many young adults wonder what spiritual growth is supposed to look like, or feel unsure where to start. Maybe you have questions you’ve never felt comfortable asking, doubts you’re working through, or a desire for something deeper than surface-level faith.

At MDPC Young Adults, we believe growing biblically is a journey, not a performance. God invites us to keep growing in our relationship with Him - learning Scripture, wrestling honestly with questions, and discovering how faith shapes everyday life.

Whether you’re just beginning your faith journey, returning to church after time away, looking for people to worship with on Sundays, or ready to dive deeper into Scripture through a Bible study or small group, there’s a place for you here. Join one of our classes or groups, and let’s grow together.

 

Engage Missionally

It’s hard to ignore the brokenness around us. On campus, at work, and in our neighborhoods, we see real needs every day - and it can be overwhelming to know what to do with them. But God invites us to respond, not with fear or paralysis, but with compassion, courage, and action.

At MDPC Young Adults, engaging missionally means stepping beyond ourselves and living out our faith in tangible ways. Together, we serve, take risks, and learn how to love people the way Jesus did - meeting others where they are, crossing boundaries, and caring for people of all backgrounds and stories.

Whether you’re looking for a place to serve locally, explore global missions, or simply put your faith into action alongside friends, there’s room for you here. Join us as we make a difference in Houston and beyond. Check out our events and mission opportunities to see how you can engage missionally with MDPC Young Adults.

 

College

College Ministry is a branch of MDPC Young Adults that seeks to build Christian community among college-aged young adults through discipleship, encouragement, and evangelism. Whether you reside in Houston, Texas or are here for summer break, we have a place for you! We provide year-round opportunities to connect in community, grow as a disciple of Christ, and engage the community through serving.
