Your Virginia Synod Lutheran Youth Organization Board is piloting a new event this year, which will take the place of the Youth Assembly in years when the Synod Assembly is not held. "Summit" is an opportunity for select youth in grades 7-12 from around the Virginia Synod to gather for fellowship and conversation about the life and work of the church beyond their congregations, and to contribute to the planning and oversight of the Synod's Ministry with Youth and Young Adults. It will be held on Friday, April 24, 2026, 8:00 a.m. - Saturday, April 25, 2026, 3:00 p.m. at Epiphany, Richmond. The cost will be $35.
What will happen: We will spend time singing and worshiping together … listening, discussing, and asking questions about the various ministries of the church … providing evaluation and input on the synod’s youth ministry … bringing our own concerns about life and the world to discuss … contributing to the revised structure of synod youth ministry oversight that is taking shape. PLUS: we will have meals together and enjoy some great fellowship time with old and new friends from around the Virginia Synod!
