LWF Youth

The Youth Work of the Lutheran World Federation connects young people up to 30 years of age in 148 Lutheran churches worldwide.

Our values derive from our Lutheran identity. They are a deeply rooted response to God’s grace as revealed through Jesus Christ. Lutheran World Federation values:

Dignity and justice

Compassion and commitment

Respect for diversity

Inclusion and participation

Transparency and accountability

As a communion, we are freed by this grace to participate in God’s vision and mission for the world.
