Young Adult Small Group Registration | The Huaka'i Project Season 4

1
Welcome to The Huaka'i Project!

Season 4 (Sept-Nov 2026)

The Huaka‘i Project is a 12-week small group journey designed for young adults (ages 18–39). Each group meets in-person weekly for 1 hour and 15 minutes, combining faith, fellowship, and service.

This season is divided into two parts:

6 Weeks of Spiritual Formation – Diving into Mary and the Saints, where we reflect on Church tradition, grow in discipleship, and strengthen our faith together.

6 Weeks of Service – A rhythm of putting faith into action through group service days and then returning to evaluate, pray, and reflect on the experience. These weeks balance hands-on service with spiritual reflection, keeping service closely tied to discipleship.

How to Complete This Form:

Review the Small Group Descriptions Carefully – Each group has specific details listed (Host, meeting day/time, location, demographic focus).
Service Days: Many hosts have already scheduled their group’s service dates. Please select a group whose schedule best aligns with yours.

Provide Your Contact Information – Ensure we can reach you with important updates.

Confirm Your Commitment – By signing up, you are committing to the full 12-week journey with your small group.
