Looking to start your fundraising?
In February, Gathering leadership held a workshop at the ELCA Youth Ministry Network’s Extravaganza titled “Fundraising During a Pandemic: Who Knew That Was a Thing?” With help from our workshop attendees, we’ve updated our “Tips & Tricks: Fundraising During COVID-19” resource to include some fresh ideas for raising money during this time.

There are a ton of Frequently Asked Questions, resources and information on the ministry of the Gathering. The website will continue to evolve as more information becomes available, but getting a feel for it now will be a great start for your successful journey to the Gathering.
