Join Our Community
We're here to serve you. The pastor, youth director, volunteer, Sunday school teacher, Confirmation leader, parent, really anyone who is mentoring children, youth and young adults in faith. When God called his young disciple Timothy, God gave him Paul as a faith mentor, to accompany Timothy as he matured in faith. Similarly, God has placed you in the lives of young people as a faith mentor, teacher and guide. We hope this e-news will be a resource you will turn to for information and guidance as you nurture the faith of young people and families.

Summer Leadership Academy Offered
"Serve-Lead-Live"      July 20-27, 2013
If you had a young leader in your congregation who could benefit from some intentional leadership development in a Lutheran Christian setting, where their gifts would be celebrated, wouldn't you want to give them that opportunity? Of course! Then check out TEY's (Theological Education with Youth) Summer Leadership Academy, at:  TEY's Summer Leadership Academy.

 

Under the leadership of youth ministry veteran, Christian educator and rostered Asssociate in Ministry, Chelle Huth, TEY continues a heritage of helping young leaders discern God's call to them in the world, while equipping them for Christian service to God and others. Along with the website listed above, you can inquire more directly to Chelle, at chuth@ltsg.edu.

 

Youth currently in grades 9 or 10, qualify for this particular program that is held on the Gettysburg Seminary campus. Youth must register in advance for the Academy, which includes submitting a short reflection essay and a recommendation from their youth worker, volunteer, or pastor, along with the non-refundable $50 deposit. Financial assistance is available for those in financial need, to help offset the $450 event tuition. 



 

 

Summer Theological Academy
'Why Are We Lutheran?" July 20-27, 2013
Similar to it's sister ministry program, the Leadership Academy, mentioned to the left, this offering is provided for young leaders in this case, who are looking to explore more deeply what it means to be Lutheran Christian in our current culture and world. Details for this course can be found at: TEY Summer Theological Academy 

 

Not only will participants explore the BIG questions of life in a safe environment with peers and ministry leaders, but will intentionally explore whether they might be feeling a call to service in the church as well as the world. Seminary professors and ministry professionals will help the 25 or so participants explore vocational calling, and how God may be at work in their lives.

 

Youth in grades 10, 11 & 12, are all welcome to consider this ministry training, also held on the Gettysburg Seminary campus. Registration must also be accompanied by a recommendation and a non-refundable $50 deposit. Scholarship monies are also available for this event tuition of $450.

 

TEY is a shared ministry of the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (LTSP), and the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg (LTSG).
