What is the ELCA Youth Gathering?

It's more than a trip.

It's worship with thousands of other high school students. It's asking big questions and discovering that you're not alone in your faith. It's meeting people from across the country, serving others, growing as a leader, and experiencing the church in a whole new way.

Every three years, Lutheran youth gather for an unforgettable week of faith, community, learning, and fun. The Gathering exists to help young people grow in faith, build connections, and discover how God is calling them to make a difference in the world.

In 2027, we're headed to Minneapolis, and we want you there.

📍 Minneapolis, MN
📅 June 28–July 2, 2027
👥 Students in Grades 9–12 (Fall 2026) & Friends
