Welcome to Praxis

We’d love to get to know you, but here’s a little bit about us!

Praxis Young Adult Ministry

at Loma Linda University Church

Praxis began in 2015 under the leadership of Pastor Tyler Stewart and an idea that young adults wanted to gather together, grow together spiritually, and in community. As we’ve grown over the past 8 years, we have transitioned from meeting on the top of a parking structure to the LLUC church courtyard, and now to the LLUC Auditorium, as well as a transition in leadership—now under the care of Pastor Filip Milosavljevic and intern pastor, Kelly Lin Dickinson.

We’ve seen growth from a small group of 12 to a large gathering of 300. We’ve had meaningful outreach projects and fun social gatherings and we welcome all far and near. Today, in 2025, we hope to meet you, get to know you better, and walk with you in your spiritual journey. Welcome to Praxis!
