Youth Gathering 2024

Hey Epiphany Youth Parents, Guardians, + Loved Ones!

We're excited to get some events and get-togethers up and running for the youth this fall/winter - but I also wanted to make sure The Youth Gathering with the ELCA was on your radar. 

What is The Youth Gathering?

Every three years, thousands of high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America 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.

This year's Youth Gathering is July 16-20, 2024 in New Orleans!

Epiphany has taken students in the past, and I would love to take a small group of interested students this summer! 

The full approximate cost for each student is $1,300 - 1,400 for students registered by the end of October. 

Though that is the full cost, there will be opportunities to fundraise / receive contributions / and utilize some of our youth funds to cover gaps - If you believe cost may be a barrier, please talk to me - I want everyone interested to be able to come, regardless of cost!

There is more information about The Youth Gathering in general here: https://www.elca.church/gathering 

Please let me know if this is something you may be interested in signing up your student for - or would like to talk more about!
