FUSE stands for Faith Unleashed. Supporting Everyone. Youth, who are 9th – 12th graders are welcome to come to our high school nights. FUSE comes together throughout the school year, to create relationships, show kindness to others, challenge each other in exciting games, time to hang out, and learn about what it means to share our faith with everyone.
COLLEGE ADDRESSES: With many of our young adults moving this fall, we are updating our contact information for college students of ELC. Please use the link or the QR code. For those attending UW Madison, UW Whitewater and UW Platteville, we share names and contacts with Lutheran Campus Ministry. They reach out to them, to help them with their faith journey. https://forms.gle/L5zG8jocro1NTBPa7
YOUTH GATHERING 2027
Minneapolis, MN!
Every three years, 30,000+ high school youth and their adult leaders from across the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America gather for a week of faith formation known as the ELCA Youth Gathering.
