College & Young Adults

Helping college students and young adults grow in their faith, build biblical community, and follow Christ faithfully in every season of life.

College & Young Adults

Building Foundations Rooted in Scripture

The College & Young Adults ministry at Third Baptist Church exists to help young adults become grounded in God’s Word and connected to the life of the local church.

Whether you are attending MTSU, beginning your career, starting a family, or navigating a new season of life, our desire is to provide biblical community, discipleship, and encouragement centered on Christ.

In a rapidly growing city like Murfreesboro, we believe young adults need strong biblical foundations and meaningful Christian relationships more than ever.

Scripture References:
Colossians 2:6–7, Ecclesiastes 12:1, Romans 12:1–2, Hebrews 10:24–25


OUR MISSION

Growing Together in Christ

Our ministry is focused on helping young adults:

  • Grow in their understanding of Scripture
  • Build Christ-centered friendships
  • Develop spiritual maturity
  • Become active in the local church

We desire to help young adults not only attend church, but become rooted in the life and mission of the church body.
