The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) invites thousands of high school youth and their adult leaders to gather for a week of faith formation at the ELCA Youth Gathering. We will have conversations, bond as a group, be inspired to create change in our own community and learn more about the ELCA. 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. We will get to explore the city of New Orleans, connect with partners, worship and dive deep into the theme Created to Be.

We intend to take photos and/or video at this event, which may appear in worship, social media, website, or congregational communication without names listed. If you have a concern about this, please email Kelsey Young.
