• Holy

    The root word for holy translates to set apart or separate.

  • Set Apart for His Glory

    God is holy in every way. He is perfect, sinless, and set apart from everything that exists. Our calling as believers to live set apart is different. We are called to be set apart for His glory. To be in the world, but not of the world in order to achieve the purposes God sets before us.

  • Leviticus 20:26

    You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be mine.

  • The Great Commission

    Our lives should be the light in the darkness so that others may know Jesus and call him Lord.

our mission

Set Apart is a young adult ministry in the Cedar Valley. We exist to provide a space for young adults in their 20s and 30s to gather together, to grow in their relationship with God, and in community with one another.

A few statistics and labels of young adults

Millennials & Gen Z

  • Loneliest generation

  • Gripped by worry

  • Crippled with anxiety

  • Clinically depressed

  • Severely isolated

These young men and women have found themselves tossed to and fro in the ways of the world, and to no surprise, are now the least churched generations and the least likely to identify as Christ followers.

Living Set Apart

We know God did not design us to journey through life alone, and we must actively fight the darkness of isolation and giving into sinful desires. We believe our lives should be fully devoted to living Set Apart for the glory of the Lord, by being committed followers of Him, obeying His Word and plans for our lives, making holiness our greatest pursuit, and living life in close relationship with those He has placed around us.

OUR VISION

Doing Life Together

We are overjoyed to provide the Cedar Valley with spaces for intentional times with the Lord and community - we are passionate about creating a peaceful, Set Apart space for you.

We will begin to meet as a young adult community weekly to worship our Creator, learn from His Word, and hang out together.

We have more dreams of how we can gather together that we are excited to share with you!

what young adults are saying

Reviews

"No matter what it looks like, seasons of change can be hard, but what makes those seasons so much sweeter is when you have a community of people to go through it with you. Graduating out of a campus ministry and jumping into teaching full time was challenging for me. It felt as though I was in this awkward in between of being a “college kid” and a “real adult”. I would often wonder if anyone else was feeling that same disconnect. The truth is, so many young adults are feeling the same way! I believe God is going to use Set Apart to bring connection to the Cedar Valley. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet with Jesus and do it with friends who are walking through life with you. I can’t wait to see how God is going to move!"

"Many young adults find their minds set on worldly desires or feel lost and all alone. Set Apart is here to bring the focus back on Jesus and to create a community to do life with. While we will only be on this Earth for a short period of time, Set Apart will help us grow and remind us how to live for Jesus, so that one day we can join Him in Heaven for eternity and bring as many people with us as we can."

-Lawrence Jungwirth

"Our young adult years can be lonely and full of unrealistic expectations and timelines set by society. It's easy to feel like you are alone and not where you should be. My 20s have been full of transition: new relationships, job changes, heartbreak, changes in what I value, and so much more. What must remain through all of life's ups and downs is community and pouring into my relationship with Jesus. There is a need for Set Apart in the Cedar Valley to help young adults live how we were made to. To put our phones down, hug our friends, meet people in healthy environments, and slow down. I believe Set Apart will be a ministry that allows young adults to really see the importance of both community and stillness - all while receiving the overflowing and unconditional love of Jesus."
