The Nebraska Synod of the ELCA met in Assembly on June 3-4, 2022 at the Younes Conference Center in Kearney, NE. There were 530 voting members present (170 rostered ministers and 360 lay members). Visitors joined in person and online via the live stream.

We gathered under the theme of ‘Let Your Light Shine’. The theme verse was from Matthew 5:15-16. It was under this theme that we remembered and celebrated all that is made possible as God’s people and through God’s work with our hands, minds, hearts, and whole selves.
