Young Adult Gathering

ELCA Young Adult Ministries is partnering with the National Youth Gathering to provide the first-ever ELCA Young Adult Gathering alongside the 2024 Gathering in New Orleans! Individuals who will be 18 to 35 at the time of the Gathering are invited to attend. While 18-35 is a wide age range, most of the programming will be geared toward those 18 to 25 years old. All young-adult participants will be divided into cohorts based on age.

Individuals interested in attending the ELCA Young Adult Gathering will need to register apart from any congregational group attending the ELCA Youth Gathering. Childcare will be available for those attending the ELCA Young Adult Gathering. Please note that children are not allowed to attend Mass Gathering programming.

Registration opens September 15th and requires a $150 deposit at the time. More information can be found here.

Across a context as wide and different as NT-NL, the reality of Covid-19 is very different. As such, NT-NL synod staff are doing more in-person Sunday visits for worship and occasional meetings. However, as good stewards of time and travel dollars, we will be utilizing online meeting formats into our new hybrid future. Given the rise of breakthrough infections and in order to protect those gathered, the synod staff will choose to wear masks as is deemed appropriate unless preaching or presiding and sufficient social distancing can be provided.
