2025 LCMS Senior High Youth Gathering
Held every 3 years, the LCMS Youth Gathering provides thousands of youth and adults the opportunity to come together as a community of God’s people to learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith and their Lutheran identity. During the 5 days of the Gathering, youth spend time together in God’s Word, worship, service and fellowship with others from across the synod.
Our students and chaperones have been registered and our hotel details finalized! Active fundraising is underway to help with hotel, travel, and meal costs. Several of the Lenten midweek meals are supporting this trip.

Junior High Youth Gatherings
The Michigan District, LCMS Junior High Youth Gathering 2024 was all about the MESS! God’s mess?! It’s true! When we look at God’s plan for His people and their salvation—His Son being born as a regular human baby, touching the messy/untouchable, dying bloody on the cross—it all looks messy … that is, until we look at our own lives. We ARE certainly a MESS in our sin and shame. But God reached into that mess and showed us His great love and mercy, reconciling us to Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Our junior high students, and chaperones, travelled to Frankenmuth this summer to gather with hundreds of other Lutheran youth from Michigan. This 3-day event was so much fun and we look forward to the next Junior High Gathering!
