ELCA Youth Gathering 2027 (June 28-July 2 in Minneapolis) -   

     Every three years, thousands of high schoolers and their adult leaders from across the ELCA come together for the ELCA Youth Gathering. It’s not just an event but a movement in which faith ignites and community comes alive. Through inspiring speakers, experiential learning, and transformative connections, young people experience the church in bold, unforgettable ways. Each night, participants share a unique faith experience through high-energy worship and powerful storytelling.

     The Gathering is an opportunity to ask big questions, grow in faith, and be part of something bigger than yourself. Are you ready to join the movement? What do you need to know? The national church body has been hosting youth gatherings for over 60 years.

      The ELCA Youth Gathering 2027 will be open for students in 8th through 12th grades (fall 2026). Registration opens this fall. We’ll have an information meeting in September for interested students and parents.  In the meantime, you can talk with Pastor if you have questions or go to the ELCA Youth Gathering 2027 website.
