CTS: Faith & Action Project
The future belongs to young people. How will we help them succeed?
Every young person deserves to be seen, valued, and connected to the relationships, mentors, and opportunities that help them thrive.
As Christian Theological Seminary celebrates 10 years of the Faith & Action Project, we are looking toward the next decade and the role each of us can play in building a stronger, more connected Indianapolis.
At our 10th Anniversary Faith & Action Fall Event, Jason Reynolds will explore how belonging, mentorship, and meaningful relationships shape young lives—and how our community can help create pathways to opportunity for the next generation.
More Than a Conversation
This event is an invitation to consider the role each of us can play in helping young people thrive. You do not have to work directly with young people to make a difference in their future. Employers, faith communities, neighbors, mentors, volunteers, organizations, and caring adults all have opportunities to help young people feel seen, supported, and connected.
Following the conversation, join us for a community reception and 10th Anniversary celebration featuring local mentoring and youth-serving organizations. Meet people already investing in young people across Indianapolis and discover opportunities to engage, serve, mentor, and support the next generation.
