Why Hodos Exists
The Lutheran Church holds one of the richest theological traditions in Christianity, yet young adults are increasingly disconnected, and digital engagement is scattered. Hodos exists to create a clear path forward by increasing access, visibility, formation, and connection for the next generation of Lutheran disciples.
Hodos is a Greek word meaning road, way, or path. It echoes Jesus’ words: “I am the way…” and reflects our calling to walk together in faith, clarity, and purpose.
