What is Next Generation Unity?Next Generation Unity (NGU) is the next generation of Unity, and in many ways, it is the now generation as well. NGU is for the young adults who want to be involved in church, but feel going to a Sunday service doesn't fulfill all their spiritual needs. For some it's as simple as not being able to attend on Sunday mornings because of work. For others, the closeness of community experienced during YOU is a high priority. While for others, NGU serves (especially those new to town) as a group of friends who have similar values. NGU is not just a young adult group at a church. NGU can be on campus, online, or regional events. NGU has evolved to where it is now through the passion of dedicated NGUers seeing a need and filing it. Are you one of the dedicated leaders to take it to the next level? NGU is intended for, but not limited to, young adults ages 18-35 ish. (Heavy emphasis on the "ish")Why NGU?
Church leaders from most denominations reveal that there seems to be a lack of young adults in their congregations. You can go to Amazon.com and search young adult ministries and find as many books about how to do young adult ministry as why the 20 and 30 somethings are not in church. There have been many studies done about why young adults seem to leave church after high school, and why they may or may not come back. The intention is to help evolve, support and serve the individual, the church and community. This is not about creating a vibrant NGU group, but about creating a culture that invites young adults into leadership, meaningful involvement in the church, and their own spiritual path. It's about the church benefiting from the depth of an "all generation" congregation. It's about young adults, the church, and the community finding ways to serve each other that results in healthy relationships and growth. NGU at Unity Church of the Triangle We are a new and evolving young adult group in the Triangle area. We are currently developing service opportunities, but there are many other ways of getting involved in NGU. Campus events, family outings, leadership development, service, and spiritual growth are some areas. NGU is what you make it and we would love to meet you and hear your ideas for how to create a vibrant NGU group in the Triangle. Details of our next meeting to be posted soon.
