NC Synod Youth
347 Youth Registrations Covered!
Synod leadership set a $200,000 goal of helping to pay every NC Synod youth’s registration fee for the upcoming 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering! We know that God has created these young people to be Brave, Authentic, Free, Disruptive, and Disciples! Together, we can make it possible for youth to experience this gospel truth in community as participants in the ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans in 2024.
The Synod Assembly worship offering was directed toward the $200,000 goal to cover the registration fees for all of the youth from the synod who plan to attend the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering bringing the total to $130,247 (347 youth registrations).
