College Students

Welcome to college life at Free Methodist Church!

We are so glad you're here.

Whether you're a student at Santa Barbara City College, Westmont, UCSB, or elsewhere, we are excited to have you at church. College is an amazing time to learn, explore, and be challenged, while also growing in relationships and staying grounded in a community that cares for you. 

At Free Methodist, we envision a Body where college students are integrated into the congregation, contributing to and nourished by the church, and folks of all ages get the joy of worshiping and walking alongside each other.

 Young Adults

Welcome! We’re so glad you’re here.

Our hope for our Young Adult Ministry is to empower and equip young adults to serve and lead at every level of the church. We deeply value the unique gifts you bring to the body of Christ, and we want to walk with you as you heal, grow, and thrive through the many transitions this season of life brings.

We love gathering just as young adults for fun and fellowship, but we also love using our gifts to serve and build meaningful connections across all generations in the church.

💬 The best way to stay in the loop is by joining our WhatsApp group: Join here.

☕️ 🍦 Want to connect one-on-one? Pastor Nikki (949-241-7851) would love to meet you for coffee or ice cream, hear your story, and help you get more connected.

💡 Have ideas or feedback for the Young Adult Ministry? Feel free to chat with any member of our Young Adult Leadership Team: Matt Smith, Kaylie Grant, Travis Smelley, Alysse Mastromarino, Mary Woodyard, or Nick Noormand.
