In addition to Campus Ministry at UNE, and the Young Families Fellowship, there are also events and opportunities for all young adults (18-39), most notably our monthly Theology on Tap event. Theology on Tap is a gathering of young adults that features food, drink, fellowship, and engaging discussions on spiritual topics. It is typically held on the 3rd Thursday of the month in Saco. Please see our Fall, 2018 lineup below. FMI on Theology on Tap or young adult ministry, contact Josh Houde at 282-4812 or joshua.houde@portlanddiocese.org.
