Theology on Tap
A Summer Series for Young Adults
Every July, Saint Clement hosts a 4-week speaker series called Theology on Tap. This beloved event is an opportunity to meet others in their 20s and 30s and ask questions about your spiritual life. We gather together for food, drink, and a talk from a guest speaker. Following the talk, we hold a Q&A with more discussion and mingling. Our Young Adult board, YAC Spiritual Director, and Pastor work together on the theme and speakers each year. TOT is a great opportunity to be inspired, make new friends, and learn more about belonging to our parish community! All are welcome.
