A group of “18-twentysomethings,” we will gather to encounter God and make great relationships with other young adults while talking about classes, job searches, relationships, housing situations, identity, transitions, money, etc.
About Jon: Jon Reynolds is a 24 year old seminary student at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston. He is originally from Michigan just north of Detroit. Jon is a very active person who enjoys team sports, especially baseball, but has been getting into cycling lately. In college he dreamed of opening a bookstore called “the Morning Star” which he hopes someday will serve as an open place where people have permission to vocalize some of their deep questions about their faith. Jon gets excited about social and environmental justice and appreciates helping people talk and explore their faith.
About Louise: Louise is a 24 year old, originally from England, who moved to and now lives in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. She is a teacher who loves to meet new people, has a passion for travel (both mission & tourist), and really enjoys eating chocolate. Being a young adult in today’s world has many challenges and she loves being able to be in a community where you can share experiences, lean on others, and grow in faith.
