i.d. 9:16

Mission

To form young adults into intentional disciples of Jesus Christ.

i.d. 9:16 seeks to establish communities and provide opportunities where young adults encounter Jesus Christ, hear His call, and decide to follow Him.  This process of intentional discipleship occurs through an orthodox teaching of the Catholic faith, prayer, evangelistic outreach, and the power of the Holy Spirit.  i.d. 9:16 is an outreach of Renewal Ministries dedicated to helping young adults discover their deepest identity as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
