By day, Megan Lewis is a wedding planner. In the evening, the 23-year-old is serving up patrons as a bartender at Kirkwood Station Brewing Company, a microbrewery and restaurant in the heart of downtown Kirkwood.
One evening, after a difficult breakup with a boyfriend, Lewis was tending the bar during Theology on Tap, a monthly event featuring a speaker and fellowship hosted by St. Louis Young Adults, an outreach ministry of the archdiocesan Office of Young Adult Ministry. The message from that night's speaker touched her heart.

Theology on Tap is outreach to and collaboration with young adult Catholics in pursuit of spiritual growth. It is a method of invitation, based on a spirit of hospitality, which creates a space for people in their 20s and 30s to explore how faith in Christ can speak to their circumstances. Since its creation in the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1981, this program has proven to be a successful vehicle for reaching young adults interested in learning more about their faith, coming together to share community, and feeling welcomed and valued in the Catholic Church. RENEW International has been entrusted to carry on the mission of Theology on Tap, and the RENEW staff has worked diligently to develop it as part of a more comprehensive young adult ministry.
