Youth
Our Nebraska Synod’s vision for youth is alive and ambitious! As the Synod, an expression of Christ’s Church, we endeavor to enable young people to express their faith, grow spiritually, recognize God’s gifts to them, experience leading, and respond to the Spirit’s call to be all that God created them to be.
“I am so very grateful for the talented servants who have stepped forward to direct and coordinate synodwide youth efforts.”–Bishop David deFreese.
