Current is a group consisting of people who have completed high school and are either finishing or have finished college. We are young professionals who are looking to create a Christian community through shared faith and fellowship.
The group started out at St. John’s Cathedral in downtown Jacksonville, FL in 2017. During our time there we built a small, but thriving community. In January of 2019 we received the opportunity to move to a parish closer to most of the member’s homes. We are working to build more opportunities to reach out to young adults in our area, and beyond.
Current is a ministry for young adults 21-35ish who are single or married, and are looking for a community to build and explore their faith. We welcome everyone regardless denomination and faith background, race, gender and sexuallity. We strive to be inclusive, but we are a Christian group from the Episcopal tradition and worship using those traditions regularly. We uphold our baptismal vow to respect the dignity of every human being.
Current seeks to build a faith community within the Episcopal church based on three key levels -
Chapter: A small group at an individual parish or location, that meets regularly for worship and discussion. A chapter plans their own local meetings, events, and service projects. There is only one chapter of Current at this time, located at St. Paul’s by the Sea in Jacksonville Beach, FL. If you are interested in forming a chapter at your parish, please contact us via email at [email protected].
Diocese: Large group events, trips, and retreats are planned regularly and any young adult may attend. The leaders of Current plan to work with the Diocese to help provide more events, as well as scholarships to existing events to encourage young adult participation in conferences and speaker engagements.
National: It is the ultimate goal of Current to provide space for young adults in every Episcopal church and diocese. We pray and work to spread the love of Christ through our faith communities.
What We Do
We want to spread the Gospel of Jesus by welcoming members who seek to explore their faith and grow the kingdom of God, studying scripture and theology to better understand our faith, come together for praise and worship, and spread Christ’s love through acts of service and mission.
