High School Retreat: Imagine More
Whether you are looking for a space to gather your high school students together this fall for some faith and relationship-building time, OR you are looking for a way to kickstart your 2027 ELCA Youth Gathering Experience, this retreat is for you! We hope you'll gather your high school youth (and 8th graders who will be or are considering participation in the Youth Gathering) to join us as we experience meaningful friendships, inspiring music and worship, incredible storytelling, thoughtful conversations, and fun activities! We will be joined by David Scherer (AGAPE), Joe Davis (poet/artist/musician), AND Rachel Kurtz (musician), all former main-stage guests at the Youth Gathering, who will engage us with their stories, music, and audience participation!

Oasis: Online Gathering of the ELCA Youth Ministry Network
An Oasis is "a place between." It is a place of rest. It is a place of growth. It is a place of life in the middle of a desert. Oasis is also the Network's online gathering. It is a place between where we are now, and where God is leading us. It is a place of refreshment, renewal, learning and connection. Twice this year, members of the Network are invited to come together for an online gathering. Together, we will renew, learn and connect.
