Journi
When we feel God calling us to make a difference in the world, we can be overwhelmed by the sheer number of questions and options.
Coming early in 2021, Journi is a digital tool for everyone who feels called to leadership in this church. Journi will equip you with tools to discover your gifts, practical resources to learn more about opportunities within the church, and next steps to move forward. Watch this video to learn more.
The ELCA is hard at work making Journi a reality. Be among the first to learn how it’s going — sign up for updates at Journi.faith.

2021 Extravaganza
The ELCA Youth Ministry Network’s annual Extravaganza will explore God’s call to “Hold Loosely” and to trust in the One who comes to create, to redeem and to sustain. Being held online, the Extravaganza will be a great space for folks to learn and to collaborate and network with others doing ministry across the church. Gathering staff will be leading a few workshops, so we’ll see you online Feb. 5-6, 2021!

Stepping Outside Your Comfort Zone
Joshua Lotz, a former volunteer and a member of the 2022 Gathering’s volunteer team, shares how it feels to step outside your comfort zone and allow God to fully use your gifts. As you and members of your community continue to discern how you’ll be involved in the 2022 Gathering, we encourage you to consider volunteering for one of our three volunteer groups.
