The theme for the 2018 ELCA Youth Gathering was This Changes Everything. The primary scripture verse is Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”

 

At the ELCA Youth Gathering, each synod came together in the afternoon on a designated day and location for Synod Day. Within the framework of worship, participants would dwell on three daily themes of the Gathering.

● Thursday: God’s Love Changes Everything

● Friday: God’s Grace Changes Everything

● Saturday: God’s Hope Changes Everything
