Young adults fellowship, explore spirituality at winter retreat
The winter young adult retreat "Be Still and Know" in January at John Wesley Ranch was a big success. Twelve young adults from around Colorado gathered for a weekend of reflection and community. There was lots of outdoor fun – tubing and hiking – along with some time for indoor relaxation with cards, games and lots of talking.
Rev. Diane Bell led the group through a process of discovering their spiritual type. Do you know God best through your head or your heart? Are you a mystic? The group expressed a range of spiritual types.
Campus and College Ministries
College is in full swing across the Rocky Mountain Conference and campus ministers are ready to welcome your students on campus. Most colleges and universities do not provide student contact information to campus ministries. Youth leaders, Sunday school teachers, family and friends - we need your help. The only way campus ministers can welcome your students is if you forward their information to us. We look forward to an amazing academic year!

Fostering an understanding and awareness of a God who is loving, merciful, and forgiving.
- by building a community of faith and service
- by forming partnerships with the church

- by committing to build a more just and peaceful society through service
- by providing spiritual guidance through listening, counseling, and reconciliation where needed or requested
- create a just living environment in which all members are responsible agents of justice and peace
- a campus ministry should provide a safe place for students to explore their own religious doubts and beliefs.
- develop discipleship and leadership for future clergy and lay leaders.
