Denton Wesley Campus Ministry Upcoming Events
During our 2024 Synod Assembly Bishop Gronberg announced our partnership with Denton Wesley Campus Ministry to support Lutheran students attending the University of North Texas, Denton. The Wesley is an affirming United Methodist Campus Ministry located at 1501 Maple Street. The ELCA is a full communion partner with the United Methodist Church and we appreciate the work they are doing on campus.
Denton Wesley is hosting several events as their ministry ramps up for the fall semester at UNT which you are invited to attend..
August 6th, Open House Cook-Out
Come tour the Wesley Center, meet the staff, sign up for opportunities to support their ministry with college students.
September 10th, Lunch & Learn
A workshop for congregational leaders to learn about reaching young adults through collaborative ministry. Their featured speaker is Rev. Travis Burdett who planted The Bridge, a thriving young adult ministry shared among six local churches near Rowlett, TX. Come enjoy lunch with students at the Wesley and learn about how your congregation can collaborate to offer ministry to young people.

Featured Resources for July
We are a church that believes God is calling us into the world together. ELCA Youth Ministry partners with the ELCA Youth Ministry Network, a group dedicated to renewing, educating and connecting those who work in youth ministry; with synod youth ministry leaders; with congregations across the church.
As a church that is energized by lively engagement in our faith and life, the ELCA offers a variety of opportunities for youth to grow in and explore their faith. One of the most powerful events, offered every third year, is the ELCA Youth Gathering. This July 15,000 high school youth, their adult leaders and young adults from around the country will converge on New Orleans to serve, worship and learn how to lead lives of discipleship. You can follow along on the Gathering’s Facebook page to see our youth in action!
For those far away from high school age, Cross Trails Ministry offers amazing programs in the Texas Hill Country every summer!
If you want more information on NT-NL’s youth programs reach out to Pastor Adam Stockton, our Synod Youth Connector!
