College is set up for intense community opportunities and organically, quickly developing friendships. Life after college isn’t the same. So it can be a bit of a shock and disappointment when you graduate and move to a new city for work (or back to your parents to regroup), and discover that finding community and making friends isn’t nearly as easy and organic. What’s your plan for finding community, especially Christian fellowship, once you leave campus (or even move from one city to the next for a different job or grad school)? We’ll look at some principles, practices, barriers, and benefits of developing community after college and throughout your 20s.
With guest appearances by: Daniel Starkey, Civil Engineer, recent graduate; Kyle Werner, Classical Composer, New York City, young professional and Jon Shah, Campus Pastor and church planter, H2O Church. More guest appearances under Video Interview Vignettes below.
