Who is the Lutheran Young Adult Gathering for?

LYAG is designed for young adults ages 18–29.

Do I need to be Lutheran to attend?

No. Everyone is welcome. While the gathering is rooted in the Lutheran tradition, young adults from all backgrounds are invited to join us.

What is the cost to attend the Lutheran Young Adult Gathering?

The earlier you register, the better the price. Our goal is to keep this gathering as affordable as possible. Thanks to generous donors, we are doing just that. Right now, our rates are $139 for an individual (enter code HODOS139 at checkout) and $99/person for a group of five or more (no code needed). Rates will go up to $179/person and $139/person for a group of five or more on December 16, 2026.

Can I come by myself?

Absolutely. Many attendees arrive without knowing anyone. The Lutheran Young Adult Gathering is intentionally designed to help you meet people and build lasting friendships.

What is the theme SEATED about?

Because Jesus is seated, you don’t have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Young adulthood is full of change, uncertainty, big decisions, and new responsibilities. In the middle of it all, it’s easy to feel like everything depends on you. But Scripture reminds us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. He is sovereign, He is in control, and He is deeply involved in our lives. Throughout the 2027 Lutheran Young Adult Gathering, we’ll explore what it means that Jesus is seated and how that truth can bring both peace and confidence to our everyday lives.

Where should I stay?

Four downtown Omaha hotel options will be available at special rates of $120–$160 per room, per night. Hotel booking opens December 1.

What's included with registration?

Main sessions, Bible studies, breakouts, lunches, and evening experiences. Housing and travel are separate.

Can I bring a group?

When will speakers and artists be announced?

Speakers will be announced and revealed December 2026 to March 2027.

Are our meals paid for?

Hodos will be covering all lunches. If staying at one of the hotels in our hotel blocks, breakfast is offered for FREE there. Plan on covering at least one dinner on your own and perhaps a meal or two during your travel days.

Can I get a scholarship to attend?

Yes, if you would like to receive a scholarship to attend, see the scholarship information below.
