Still thinking about the fellowship and laughter we shared together. Missing everyone and the experiences we encountered. Still continuously being reminded that our lives are being intentionally Handwritten by God. Let us continue to abide in the lord and in his promises as well as connecting more intentionally with our communities, mentors and most importantly with HIM.

Keep an eye out for future young adult gatherings to come!

Saturday YAR was amazing, more videos to follow! Greatful for these young adults, who want to walk with one another. They are hungry and ready to grow together! “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here.” (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are handwritten by Christ, let’s partner with THE AUTHOR.

Calling all young adults ages 18-28!

It’s time for the best spirit filled and fellowship heavy week of the year provided by THQ! Anthem has graced our doorstep again! If you are 18-28 this is for you! Sign up through a corps near you and make sure to contact your Salvation Army corps officer or DYS for more information on how to sign up!

This years theme is Go! In the Bible, the Exodus is about how God delivered His people from bo***ge and led them to freedom in the Promised Land. However, much of the Lord’s people spent many years in the wilderness, where they faced many challenges, such as a lack of food or water. Amid the wilderness, they needed to recognize God’s presence, rely on His provision and protection along the way. Young adulthood is often marked by transitions and even uncertainty, as young people explore their purpose, consider a career or college, and seek God’s direction. During the week we will learn how young adults can seek God and move by faith to do and go where God calls them to go.

Be sure to follow for more great anthem content!

DYR is a time where teenagers ages 13-17 from around the Division can gather, worship, laugh and fellowship together all while growing deeper in their walk with Christ. Join us this May 15-17, 2026, in our beautiful camp Lawrence M. Daley for a weekend of fun fellowship and a whole lot of Jesus.

This year’s DYR Theme is “Awaken”, on this weekend your teens are invited to stop blending in and start living in the light—discovering who God is, who they are, and waking up from spiritual sleep. An awakened life doesn’t just avoid darkness—it shines with the light of Christ in everyday moments. We’ll be calling your youth into intentional living, where their choices reflect God’s love, wisdom, and purpose, through our special guest speaker Jeniffer Dake.

When: May 15-17 2026
Where: Camp Lawrence M. Daley
Who: Teens ages 15-17
What: Divisional Youth Retreat
How do I sign up?: through a Salvation Army Corps nearest you.

Hope to see you there!
