National Youth Gathering (NYG)

Shepherd high schoolers attended the National Youth Gathering in July 2019. It was a moving and exciting event for the students and mentors. We learned that Jesus is very real and present in our lives.

NYG is 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. The last Gathering was held on July 11-15, 2019 in Minneapolis, MN.

During the five days of the Gathering, youth spent 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 Saint Louis, MO.
