Kingswood Young Adults are those who are 18 through late 20s from both the Buffalo Grove and Deerfield campus and community looking for ways to connect in both faith and in fellowship. We are committed to being welcoming of all young adults in all walks of life. Whether you are single, in a relationship, off at college, in the area going to school, working, or are just trying to figure life out--this group is for you!
Your voice matters! If you have a prayer request, suggestion, question, or feedback for Kate, she is always here for you. Feel free to share in person or through this form. Thank you for taking the time to connect and share!

Why is it called "The Well"?
Wells are used to represent some pretty incredible things throughout the Bible...
Opportunity, Community, Sustenance, Life, Salvation, Encounter, Revival, Healing, and Relationships.
"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:3
"Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the well." Isaiah 55:1

Mental Health is more than a Month!
More than ever, mental health is so important in ALL of our lives. We face each day with more input and information than ever before and it can feel overwhelming without even realizing that it's overwhelming. This constant bombardment of distractions and information is "normal" for us. We must learn to find time to take a break, unplug, and seek peace.
Prayer and time with God can be a HUGE gift to our mental health, but it doesn't stop there. God is an amazing provider and gives us many supports and resources to better our mental health.
