Did you know less than 3% of young adults have access to discover and develop their unique purpose in Christian community? According to *Barna, 67% of Gen Z and 69% of Millennials are open to the churches help in career development.

This means that young adults are not connecting their work life and future career to their purpose and value in Christ. As a result, many lack vision and wisdom on how to make an impact for Christ with their work and how to share their faith openly.

You can impact young adults to pursue their career with excellence and advance the gospel in their callings. The vast majority of Jesus following young adults will not go into full-time occupational "ministry" and yet we are all called to be ambassadors for Christ in every industry. The CoPassion Journey provides the curriculum, Christian community, and space for deep transformation in partnership with the business leaders, the Church at large, and various churches in Northeast Florida.

Join us in raising up a generation right here in Northeast Florida who confidently know who God made them to be and what He made them to do so the world can experience the redemptive love of Jesus!

What is the Journey?

There are four distinct stages; preparation, kickoff, weekly meetings, and celebration ceremony. The Journey has 8 weekly sessions designed for spiritual growth with other young adults while developing professionally in Christian community. It is for all 18-29 year-olds. Each cohort is about 8-12 students and is facilitated by a certified coach that covers spiritual, professional and missional topics with a context and commitment to the local church. In the end, each student will grow closer in their relationship with God, be able to confidently articulate their unique calling in Christ, and live out their faith with more intentionality.

Who is participating in this summer's Journey?

Sarah Foster

"I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ and believe that faith is integrated into all aspects of life. I want to honor God out of gratitude for how He has blessed me and live out the life He enables me to live through His Holy Spirit. I would like to grow in using my spiritual gifts in a career."

Natalie Nunez

Clarity of vision for personal and professional/ministry time management. Filtering all areas of my life through scripture and the gospel is really important to me. I’d like to learn how to practically abide more deeply in Christ, through and for these areas of life. And I want to have this information to share with others in discipleship."

Laila Swain

"To gain experience and confidence and to really see if my major is right for me. I want to have more confidence and more of an understanding of what I would like to do professionally."

Kat Weaver

"I would like to be able to evangelize and talk about my faith openly better. I am great with talking to other believers, but I really struggle with talking to non believers, because I am naturally a people pleaser and fear that I will be rejected and they see me as a type of “Christian” that I am not. I also fear that I will say the wrong thing and lead someone astray.

Chase Donnelly

"God and my faith should come first; it shouldn’t be jeopardized for the sake of my career pursuit. I seek to develop my personal practice and find how God can best utilize my gifts in my field and to further his kingdom."

Andrew Faunce

"Spiritual things are very important to me, I am to be in the Bible every day. I am in a bible study and meet one on one with someone older than me to study the word. I would love to gain experience in the business world. I would love to see how a business is run and how day to day interactions take place. I want to be quicker to prayer. I want to rely on the Lord more. Not worry about the future."
