Scarlett Rose Sheldon

Director of Young Adult Ministry

[email protected]

I’m stoked to minister to young adults! Our ministry works to create a welcoming space for the young adults in our community (18-35) rooted in fellowship, shared activities, and intentional community. Making friends outside of school or work can be daunting; our goal is to create a space for people in similar stages of life to live and grow alongside one another, especially by getting outside and enjoying God’s creation together. These activities, along with young adult faith-formation events and programs, foster authentic friendships and deepen our relationships with Jesus and with one another.

Where are you from? I’m born and raised in Chicago, but went to undergrad in Alabama, studied abroad in Rome, interned in Vatican City, went to grad school in Boston, worked in Honolulu, and now call Costa Mesa home!

What do you do in your free time? I spend most of my time outside on miscellaneous micro-adventures, but my indoor time is spent doing anything creative — sewing, baking, painting, etc. My favorite hobby is talking about our faith, so whether you want to go over the basics or nerd out about Church history, my door (or email) is always open!
