Children, Youth & Family Ministry
The Northeastern Minnesota Synod is committed to providing faith formation and leadership development opportunities for youth and their adults leaders. Through synod events and opportunities, youth grow in faith, build relationships with other youth from their congregation and across the synod, and help see they are part of a larger body of Christ. Leadership formation events equip, resource, and inspire adult leaders and youth to nurture faith in their congregation, the synod, the larger ELCA, and beyond. We invite you to be connected and deeply rooted through synod faith formation events throughout the year!
Core Values & Goals
NEMN Synod Youth & Family Ministry
WELCOME
We strive to create space where youth feel a sense of belonging and invitation, and where their natural leadership gifts have room to flourish.
CONNECT
We strive to create a community of connection among youth that fosters authenticity and propels them toward love for their neighbor.
REFORM
We strive to create a culture of re-formation, where youth are encouraged to exercise their voice, raise their ideas, and ponder how their baptismal call invites them into lives of justice and faith.
SUPPORT
We strive to create an environment of honest learning and holy experiment, as we support and care for one another.
