Faith and fellowship for young adults

Bridge 20/30, a growing group of young adults in their 20s and 30s, whether single, dating, or married, from across the Fort Wayne area, was started this year by members of local Lutheran churches as a way to build community, strengthen faith, and provide a welcoming place for young adults to connect.

The group meets every Tuesday evening for a mix of Bible study, devotions, service, and social events. Each week looks a little different - sometimes it’s a study or devotion night, other times it’s a casual meetup or game night - but the goal is always the same: faith, fellowship, and friendship. They meet every Tuesday at 7 p.m., and you’re invited to join them!

You can find them on Facebook at The Bridge 20/30 Group Ft. Wayne, on Instagram at thebridge2030, or contact Dawn Schuller at [email protected] for more information.
