What is a
Youth Gathering?
Every three years, 30,000 high school youth and their adult leaders gather for a week of faith formation known as the ELCA Youth Gathering. Through days spent in interactive learning, worship, Bible study, service and fellowship, young people grow in faith and are challenged and inspired to live their faith in their daily lives.

Where?
Houston, Texas
Houston is a diverse, multicultural metropolis with thriving performing arts and culinary scenes, over 55,000 acres of green space, large and growing international community, and so much more.
Who?
Youth who are in
8th - 12th grade by September, 2017 are eligible to attend.
Adult leaders must be 21 at the time of the Gathering.
Cost
It's 1,155 miles from our church to Houston, TX. So as you can imagine getting there will be a financial challenge. Also, we must pay for hotel costs.
It is also $350 per person to register.
Is that a lot of money? Yes. Can you help? Yes!

Jesus is alive and so is Detroit!
Our youth group was in Detroit, MI for the Youth Gathering of the ELCA for 5 days!
The gathering only happens once every three years and brings in over 30,000 high school students from around the country!
We came together to worship and grow, fellowship with other Lutheran Christians, have fun and witness to the love of God in Jesus by doing massive service projects!
