Young Adult
The Christian Church (DOC) in Georgia celebrates and supports young people beyond high school through collegiate and young adult ministry opportunities. These opportunities include The Table (at UGA), Tech Wesley (at Georgia Tech), and other programs and gatherings for young adults in Georgia Disciples congregations.
Disciples on Campus
Disciples on Campus, the campus/collegiate ministry of the Christian Church in Georgia, has joined with The Table (formerly Presbyterian Student Center). The Table is an inclusive Christian campus ministry in Athens, GA, that affirms the full participation and dignity of all people in all aspects of Christian life and ministry regardless of race, ability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Open to students of any religious background, The Table is sponsored by the Presbyterian Church (USA), United Church of Christ, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and local congregations of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.

Tech Wesley
The Wesley Foundation at GA Tech (Tech Wesley) is a campus ministry of the United Methodist Church, open to all students at the Georgia Institute of Technology. At the same time, Dr. Jennifer Hasler, an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, serves as Faculty Advisor to Tech Wesley. She has been active in campus ministry at Georgia Tech since 2014, and welcomes Georgia Disciples and friends to check out Tech Wesley, where real friendships are made, community leaders grow, and love for Christ and one another inspires action in the community. Tech Wesley maintains an active calendar of student-friendly activities - stop by for free lunch on Friday or Tuesday evening worship. Check out the calendar here or the website here.
