The Young Adult Ministry Network (YAMN) in the Diocese of Western Massachusetts is a collaboration of young adults 18-40 and those who minister with them in Western Massachusetts.
We are a ministry of the Episcopal Church and seek to provide faithful fellowship that is both rooted in our mainline-Protestant affinity and also friendly and collaborative in ecumenical and interfaith cooperation and connection.
We do this work by connecting campus ministries, parish young adult ministries, ministry outreach centers, and the Lawrence House Episcopal Service Corps in a cross-diocesan network, and in holding and publicizing worship events, sharing resources and job opportunities, and providing spiritual and social fellowship.
Who are we?
Our Leadership Team is currently in formation – check back soon!
