Our History:

Sponsored by Disciples Home Mission (DHM) and supported by Higher Education and Leadership Ministry (HELM), the Young Adult Commission was created to address the need of Young Adults in the Disciples Church. Planning the pre-assembly for Young Adults leading up to the General Assembly in 2005, (Portland, Oregon) was the first assignment for the Young Adult Commission.
