We offer many opportunities for Senior High youth to gather, learn, teach and grow in their faith. Each year we gather at least four times for various ministry options. Each centers on Bible Study, worship and fellowship. The individual events differ in the youth they target.

LYO Assembly - actually open to 6-12th graders but only senior high are eligible to serve on the LYO Board or serve as small group leaders. There are business sessions to discuss the issues before the assembly.

LYO Cluster Events - for Western, Eastern, North Central and South Central areas of our synod. All clusters have a fall rally. Some offer Spring events also. Cluster events are open to all youth groups, not just those within the cluster.

Leadership Pathways - leadership training divided into Paths. Path I is for first year participants who learn of their spiritual gifts and their call to ministry - lay or rostered. Path II continues on that theme and builds leadership skills in Bible study and learning how to write devotions and center events on a theme. Path III, doesn't occur every year but is intensely devoted to learning more about Bible Study and the disciples. There is also a stewardship component in this Path.

Our fourth gathering option depends on the year. In 2008, we travel to Philadelphia for a synodical mission trip. In 2009, the ELCA Youth Gathering happens.
