Here in the Southern Ohio Synod, we are all about connecting and networking. Some events are recurring while others are placed on the calendar as requested.

To get started…


Next…


Consider joining the conversation on the Youth & Family Ministry Facebook Page. Send Gary gpecuch@southernohiosynod.org an email to get an invite.

Then…


Connect with others through youth and family ministry Cluster meetings. Contact Gary for the current calendar.

and…


Don’t forget to attend our annual Renew Retreat at HopeWood Pines each November. Visit Renew Retreat for details.

Then Go National!


Join the ELCA Youth Ministry Network and/or attend the annual Youthworker Extravaganza Event. The Extravaganza is hundreds of your closest Lutheran Youth Ministry Friends getting together for a time of learning, gleaning, relaxing, sharing, and just plain becoming better at what you do. The event takes place each winter.

And yep, the ELCA Youth Ministry Network has a Facebook Page as well.

Before you know it you will be connecting with other congregations for conversation, events, and trips.

Need some initial help getting connected? Gary would be happy to pay a visit.
