This major project assesses the ongoing intergenerational work of the Mosaic Young Adult Initiative through the lenses of church, place, and young adult discipleship. Using a mixed methods approach of in-depth interviews, small group interviews, and document analysis, the project presents data from nine pastors and twelve young adults, along with analysis from Mosaic Young Adult Initiative documents. The findings suggest formational and missional value of a place-based church collaboration in the spiritual lives of young adults. Values and practices are identified for working with young adults, strengthening church culture, and positively influencing the community. Further, the project analysis highlights possibilities for collective impact and collective formation through a place-based church collaboration, informed by a spatial-ecclesial imagination. Such a theological vision compels churches to see and work beyond their own boundaries for broader city-wide influence and deeper discipleship of young adults. This research demonstrates the benefits of a place-based approach to church partnerships, spiritual formation, and missional engagement. It also suggests prospects for complementary strategies to church planting through place-based hub planting. Lastly, it illustrates how place-based church networks may serve as mentoring ecosystems for young adult faith formation in the context of city-wide collective impact. Keywords: church, space, place, young adults, collective impact, collective formation, spatial ecclesial imagination
