Our Mission and Vision
Who We Are
We chose the name The Upper Room because it reflects the kind of community we desire to build. Just as the disciples gathered together in the Upper Room for fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual growth, we want our young adults to have a place where they can do the same.
The transition into adulthood often brings new responsibilities, important decisions, and plenty of questions. It can be challenging to navigate this season of life on your own. Through The Upper Room, we seek to provide encouragement, support, and biblical guidance as young adults take their next steps in life and faith. Our goal is to help them grow in their relationship with Christ, build meaningful friendships, and develop a strong foundation that will prepare them to faithfully serve the Lord for years to come.

Our Services
What We Do
The Upper Room offers two opportunities each month for young adults to connect, grow, and build meaningful relationships. We meet on the first and last Saturday of each month for fellowship, Bible study, service projects, outreach opportunities, and other activities designed to strengthen our faith and impact our community. Whether we're learning, serving, or simply spending time together, our goal is to encourage one another as we grow in Christ.

Leaders of Upper Room
We are so excited to see our dream for Upper Room become a reality! This ministry was born out of a desire to create a place where older teens and young adults can continue building strong relationships and growing in their faith as they enter a new and exciting season of life.
The transition from high school and youth group into college, work, and adulthood can bring many changes, new experiences, and important decisions. We believe Upper Room provides an opportunity for young adults to walk through those years together—encouraging one another, building lasting friendships, studying God’s Word, and continuing to strengthen their relationship with Christ.
Our hope is that Upper Room will be more than simply another weekly gathering. We want it to be a community where young adults feel welcomed and supported, where they can ask questions, share life together, and challenge one another to live out their faith in everyday life.
Most of all, we are excited to see how God will use Upper Room to bring young adults together, deepen their faith, and prepare them to serve Him wherever He leads them.
