Is your congregation planning to participate in the 2024 ELCA Youth Gathering (or MYLE, tAble)?

Do you have youth interested in Youth Gathering, MYLE, or tAble – who need to partner with a group?

Do you have interest in traveling with other groups from South Csrolina Synod?  Or joining in pre-gathering events?

Do you have individual(s) who are interested in the concurrent ELCA Young Adult Gathering?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, please complete our South Carolina Youth Gathering GoogleForm, using the link below (or contact our Synod Team directly, via Pastor Eric Fink, pastoreric@livingspringscolumbia.org, 803-736-0661).

The South Carolina Synod is committed to ensuring that we provide safe places of worship and fellowship to everyone we serve. As part of that commitment we are providing information on Safe Gatherings as a resource for you in this important area.

Safe Gatherings is an online abuse prevention program that screens and educates staff and volunteers to help prevent abuse of children, youth, and vulnerable adults in group settings. When employees and volunteers are trained to identify potential abusers, recognize the signs of abuse, and know how to handle reporting, they are better equipped to prevent abuse.
