“As a youth pastor, I appreciate the opportunity to bring our young people to the Western States Youth Gathering because I know it gives them an unique opportunity to explore their faith. Growing up with just the other “Lutherans” at your church is one thing, but coming to a gathering where you have the opportunity to experience the energy, diversity, and belonging of being together with hundreds of other kids is really exciting. Cal Lutheran provides a fun, safe and open atmosphere for the gathering where our youth can learn, grow, and explore faith together. I’m thankful to the organizers for providing this opportunity.“
