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.

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.
