NextUp Learning Community
Introducing NextUp: an 18-month learning community for Baptist 18-35 year olds.
Join us on an intentional journey to explore God’s calling on your life, learn about the breadth of mission, and make deep connections with Baptists your age.
Running in partnership with
BMS World Mission,
Everyone Everywhere and
Fresh Streams from May 2026-October 2027, NextUp will involve:
-
A supportive community of peers in Baptist churches across the country
-
Three in-person and three online gatherings to pray, worship and think about the next steps on your discipleship journey (attendance at these gatherings is essential and will be free)
-
Three bonus gatherings and a choice of two overseas trips to experience mission in other cultures (attendance at these gatherings is optional and may require fundraising)
-
Small groups and mentors for every participant
-
Expert support from and opportunities with BMS, Everyone Everywhere and Fresh Streams
Participation in the key components of NextUp is free, but bonus elements may require some fundraising which we will help you with. We will cap the number of participants if we reach max capacity, so apply early to avoid missing out!
