EDUCATION-PROMOTING HEALTHY MINISTRIES! > Youth


Youth Ministry

Along with the Youth 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.


REGIONAL EVENTS

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); Inland Empire (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!

District-wide sponsored events such as the Junior High and Senior High Youth Gatherings work on a 3-year cycle -- National Youth Gathering year (2010), Junior High Gathering year (2011), Senior High Gathering year (2012), and so on. The next National Youth Gathering is in 2013( in San Antonio, TX), followed by the District Junior High Youth Gathering again in 2014.
