2025 LCMS Youth Gathering
Mark your calendars for the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering July 19-23 in New Orleans, Louisiana! The theme is “ENDURE” and is centered around Hebrews 12:1–3.
Registration is closed for the special NOW District event on Monday, July 21, from 6 – 8:30 p.m. at the local aquarium. Participants will enjoy dinner, a scavenger hunt, and time to explore the aquarium. We look forward to seeing everyone in New Orleans!
Because you asked! There have been some who have asked if it would be possible to purchase a NOW District youth gathering shirt only. You can! The registration form will be open until July 11 at 4 p.m. (PDT), and the price per shirt will be $12. Amy Schweim will bring your shirts to NOLA, and they will be available for pick up at the convention center in the West-Southwest zone. If you have questions regarding the shirts or pick up, please contact Amy. Please direct any questions regarding the website to Kelsie at the NOW District Office.
About the 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 learn more about Jesus Christ, the Christian faith, and their Lutheran identity. During the five days of the Gathering, youth spend time together in God’s Word, worship, service, and fellowship with others from across the synod. This event is organized by LCMS Youth Ministry in St. Louis.
Amy Schweim is the NOW District’s Coordinator for the Gathering. She will assist congregations with questions or who need help preparing for this big event. She can be reached at alschweim@comcast.net.
