ELCA Youth Ministry
Welcome to a place where we are listening to and striving to amplify the voices and the songs of young people, focusing on youth ages 14 to 18.
The Youth Ministry program of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America provides and supports resources, information, networking, and programs for people who serve in ministries with youth and young adults. The ELCA Youth Gathering and Lutheran Youth Organization carry special emphases in leadership development, faith formation, and service learning.
Here are some highlights of what's going on right now for youth ministry leaders...

ELCA Youth Gathering
New Orleans, Louisiana
July 18-22, 2012
- Gather again, in New Orleans, not to cheer on the Saints football team, but to stand with the saints of God in that place: the young and the old, the privileged and the uninvited, the lonely and the claimed, the powerful and the shamed, the weak and the strong, those who have built new homes and those still struggling to rebuild.
- Please join us in the summer of 2012 in New Orleans. There is more to be done, and more to learn.
- Go to ELCA Youth Gathering and become part of the movement, ELCA for NOLA!
