2027 ELCA Youth Gathering:
June 28 - July 2, 2027 in Minneapolis, MN
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 out their faith in their daily lives.
The 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering took place in New Orleans on July 16-20, 2024. Two pre-events, the Multicultural Youth Leadership Event (MYLE) and the tAble, took place on July 13-16 2024.
The next ELCA Youth Gathering will take place on June 28-July 2, 2027 in Minneapolis.
