The North Carolina Synod is beginning prepartions for the 2027 ELCA Youth Gathering in Minneapolis, Minnesota and invites our congregation to be a part of the life-changing experience for young people across our synod.

The NC Synod is seeking to raise $200,000 in schoolarship support for youth attending the 2027 Gathering by October, when registration begins.

See a recent letter sent to our congregation inviting our participation with giving instructions.

During the 2024 Gathering, the North Carolina Synod covered the registration costs for all 7 of our youth. We will be sending students to the 2027 youth gathering as well, and will be doing fundraising throughout the year, but it is a significant help to have registration costs covered through the synod.
