Weekly on Thursdays at 7:00 p.m.

At R12 Young Adults, we are passionate about encountering Jesus, going deep in His Word, and experiencing life transformation. Our ministry is founded on Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” 

This scripture drives everything we do, as we aim to see young adults set free from the ways of the world and transformed to live their lives with purpose for the advancement of the Kingdom.

Led by Aidan Gross and Emmalie Brock, we gather in a home every Thursday evening for a time of Bible study, prayer, worship, and fellowship. We go book by book, chapter by chapter, and verse by verse through Scripture, letting the truth of God’s Word shape and challenge us. 

We pray corporately, often challenging young adults to get comfortable stepping up and praying for each other. We worship with open hearts, and we fellowship with one another as we build a Christ-centered community. 

Our desire is simple: to take young adults deeper than traditional small groups and gatherings go, helping them break free from the chains of sin and step into the fullness of God’s purpose for their lives.

We gather monthly for worship and fellowship with young adults around the city. At the beginning of the new year, the group will be stepping out in faith, taking the gospel to the streets of downtown Sarasota. This is more than just a ministry—it’s a movement of young adults being set free, transformed, and called to change the world. We believe God is moving powerfully in this generation, and we are committed to being part of His work in bringing revival to our city and beyond.

Join us at R12 Young Adults as we encounter Jesus, experience deep transformation, and step into God’s purpose for our lives.
