The tAble is a pre-event for youth living with disabilities and their supporters, celebrating the many gifts and identities each person brings and affirming that all belong fully in the body of Christ.
During the tAble, participants build community through shared meals, worship and creative learning experiences that center accessibility, belonging and leadership. Youth are encouraged to explore how God calls them to live out their faith in their daily lives and in the church.
Meals are included during the event, and afterward participants will move directly into the main Gathering. There is no registration fee, but a nonrefundable hotel deposit of $50 is required. Your congregation is responsible for housing. Caregivers will receive a waived registration fee for the ELCA Youth Gathering.
