Welcome to Disciples Connect!

Disciples Connect is a web-based community, database, and resource center for Disciples of Christ young adults. It's a place to do social networking -- to find friends from the past, connect to new leaders across the world, and challenge each other with big questions and spiritual reflection. It's a way to be encouraged, get new ideas, or just share what is on your heart. Ultimately, Disciples Connect is what you make of it.

Disciples Connect features a bunch of modern web stuff that you may not understand.

PROFILE - Your profile tells who you are, where you are, and what you are passionate about. This isn't a dating site - we don't sell your personal your information out to spam services either. This is solely for connecting to other young adult leaders who share the similar interests and work. You can find out where other leaders are in your state or find old camp or college friends.

BLOGS - Blogging is a hot phenomenon - think of it as an online journal. You can share personal stories and feelings. You can write about political and justice issues that are stirring your heart and affecting your community. You can write about the beauty of serving a congregation or share poetry inspired by your experiences. Basically - whatever you want. Other users of the site can comment and respond to your stories. The interaction makes it key - this isn't one way communication. Best of all, your blogs can be accessed by anyone - just point them to http://disciplesconnect.com/blog/yourusername.

BUDDYLIST - Once you find that old friend, add them to your buddylist. Your friends can find other friends and traverse the great network of young adults that the Disciples have.

Who Built This?

Disciples Connect is based off of the great Drupal Open Source software package at www.drupal.org. It's open source - so it's free and very secure. The site was designed by Nathan J. Hill, member of the Disciples of Christ Young Adult Commission. Additional moderators can be found in the Disciples Connect Team.
