About IM Youth

Welcome to Immeasurably More! The name of our youth ministry comes from Ephesians 3, where Paul prays that the people of God would know and love the God who can do immeasurably more than we can imagine. That is the same prayer that we lift up for all our students who participate in Immeasurably More (IM).

Rather than a traditional, weekly youth group format, IM follows a more flexible schedule. You can learn more about various events and activities below. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Unless otherwise specified, IM is open to all students in grades 7-12.

Check below to find an event that you are comfortable coming to for the first time. We are glad to have you!

2025 National youth gathering

Every three years, tens of thousands of high school students from across the country converge for five days of worship, Bible study, service, fellowship and discipleship at the LCMS National Youth Gathering (NYG). The NYG is an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity for youth to experience the goodness of Jesus alongside their peers and awesome adult leaders. In 2025, the National Youth Gathering will take place in New Orleans, Louisiana. Students are eligible to attend the NYG if they meet any one of the following four criteria:

-14 years old by July 18, 2025

-Entering 9th grade

-In 9th-12th grade

-Previously graduated 12th grade in the Spring of 2025

2025 NYG Initial Registration Form 2025 Cost & Explanation

*Note about cost: Budgeting was based on our 2022 Gathering numbers, which were abnormally large due to our group size. It is likely the cost will be decreased as our final count is finalized. However, it is better to aim high than too low.*
