2025 LCMS YOUTH GATHERING

Held every 3 years since 1980, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to be encouraged in their walk with Jesus Christ and learn about the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity.

The Gathering is more than the five days of the event. The preparation process for the Gathering brings together young people and supportive adults to encourage each other in their baptismal identity. The Gathering provides young people a vision for the vastness of Christ’s Church and equips them for vocational service as they continue their walk with Jesus.

This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in Saint Louis, MO. For additional ways to connect to LCMS Youth Ministry, please visit www.lcms.org/youth.

2025 HIGHER THINGS

All Things New: 225 HIGHER THINGS CONFERENCES
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
(Revelation 21:5)
 
The one who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Jesus promises that just as He is risen, we will rise. The last great enemy has been destroyed. Everlasting life belongs to all who believe…one day.

But for us, some days, that day feels far away. Like it’ll never come… like it’s been made for someone other than you. 

Live a steadfast faith today no matter what things look like because you rest on a yesterday that was made whole on the cross. Realize that God hates the same things you war against too, but he has already won the victory… the victory that makes All Things New. 

Join us in 2025 for All Things New.
