Along with theYouth Ministry Department of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and
district ministry leaders, the staff of the Northwest District works
in partnership with ministry leaders in
impacting youth and adults with a vision of hope, celebration and service in the
name of Jesus Christ.
Because we are so large geographically, our District is broken into 5 conferences: Puget Sound (Seattle and NW Washington); Oregon (most of the state and SW Washington); InlandEmpire (Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho); Alaska (the whole state); and South Idaho (Southern Idaho and Eastern Oregon). Youth ministry in the district, apart from congregational/circuit events, usually happens on two levels -- the Conference and the District. To find out the latest on special youth
events that are available in your area of the Northwest, please contact the following
people closest to you. They are your conference representatives!

The next National Youth Gathering is in 2010, followed by the District Junior High Youth Gathering again in 2011.
