This ministry offers young adults the opportunity to grow in their spiritual lives and form lasting relationships based on the call of Christ to holiness, community and service.

Our 20′s & 30′s are a time of transition; from college-to career-to family and everything in between. During that time, we believe it’s important that you don’t make that journey alone; that you’re surrounded by people who share your desire to have something more… something different. Together, we are exploring what it means to live in, and spread the Gospel in the 21st century. We are a welcoming group with Catholic roots, all in different stages of life and faith seeking to build community in a casual atmosphere. We strive to build faith and friendship through encouraging conversation, intentional discussions, communal prayer, community service and social gatherings. Gatherings are on Tuesday evenings at the Culpepper’s in O’Fallon, MO. See http://crossroadsstcharles.com/ for more information.
