Iron & Light Youth Adult Christian Fellowship is based on these Biblical principals
• The Bible tells us to be in community with other believers to sharpen one another's Christian faith and walk.
As iron sharpens iron,
so a friend sharpens a friend.
Proverbs 27:17
• In the words of Jesus, we are told to be the light of the world to bring praise to our Heavenly Father.
You are the light of the world, like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp & then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father.
Matthew 5:14-16
Along with these verses, the fellowship is rooted in our belief that every word of the Bible is God's instruction to us. We believe it is 100% necessary for us to understand and work toward these ideals in order to live a fruitful life on earth as well as to build relationship to our God and become more like Jesus for an eternity.
The Fellowship’s Goals
We can be Iron & Light and have fun doing it. It is the hopes of this fellowship to find exciting ways to connect with fellow believers and grow a community that will strengthen each other through Bible studies, unique activities and exciting adventures.
The fellowship is open to all who are YUCCA (Young, unmarried, career oriented, Christ seeking, adults). We welcome anyone who already has a relationship with Jesus or who is actively seeking Him.
Whether you enjoy Bible study by firelight, hiking on the edge of the cliff or anything in between this fellowship has something for you!
The Fellowship’s Style
Iron & Light has a relaxed atmosphere that brings people together in community while taking the word of God seriously for a deeper connection to Him. There are several facets to Iron & Light.
First, we have partnered with several area churches along with our own Iron & Light Bible study groups to provide options for each YUCCA to find a small group that fits just right. Our hope is to suggest or create a Bible study group for all. There are multiple small group Bible studies that meet throughout the week on different evenings to provide a group for any schedule.
As a huge bonus, we plan and host large group Fellowship Events that bring southwest Ohio small groups together several times a month for fun activities, exciting adventures and group mission projects. *In order to attend the large group activities, we ask that you be regularly involved in a Bible study, either through Iron & Light or at your home church.
Iron & Light is not affiliated with any particular church and encourages regular attendance at your home church.
We stick strongly to Biblical principles with complete devotion to God, our Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit, our guide & comforter and Jesus, our Lord & Savior.
