Matthew 5:17 “Let your light so shine”

Knowing we are all children of God, loved and forgiven, Nebraska Synod Youth Ministries are grounded in our baptismal promises. We challenge youth to let their light shine by raising disciples who know they matter, they belong, there is a place for them, and they have gifts to share. We do this through offering programs that equip, empower and challenge youth to become leaders, servants, and faithful followers of Christ as they explore their vocation and call and by empowering the adults who lead these youth with networking, resource sharing and tools to facilitate growth.

Kick off your youth ministry year with the Nebraska Synod. Join us in person for food, fellowship, Bible Study and conversation. Or, gather with other youth groups near you or as your own youth group and share in a meal. Then, tune in on-line for Bible Study and conversation, to start thinking about leadership and to get a preview of upcoming events for the year.
