RENEW International: Theology on Tap

RENEW International manages Theology of Tap, a comprehensive young adult ministry designed to reach out to Catholics in need of spiritual growth. It offers a safe and special place where people in their 20s and 30s can learn how to celebrate their faith in daily life and use it to overcome challenges. The program provides an opportunity for young people to feel welcomed within the Church and enjoy a sense of belonging to the greater Catholic community.

RENEW International recognizes that young adults have unique concerns and interests. Theology on Tap offers events which address the topics most important to them, in a group setting which encourages sharing and a collective celebration of faith. Events take place in homes, restaurants, bars, community centers, or within a church – anywhere young people are comfortable gathering. A speaker presents on a theological topic and makes it relevant to today's experiences. Afterwards, there is discussion, questions, and sharing. Theology on Tap can consist of a stand-alone meeting or series of events. However, all of the activities are meant to bring people together and involve them more in the Catholic community. The goal of the program and RENEW International is to offer a wonderful opportunity for young Catholics to discover (or reawaken) their faith and build a stronger relationship with God. This is particularly important during formative years when they are establishing their independence, developing their attitudes as adults, and having their own families.
