Youth Ministry

Our Ministry

The Metro Chicago Synod Youth Ministry Network (YMNet) is a group of full-time, part-time, paid, volunteer, ordained, lay, experienced, and new youth workers from all over greater Chicagoland, meeting throughout the year for youth ministry resource-sharing, coordinating synod-wide events for middle and high school youth, and fellowship.Many congregations within the Metropolitan Chicago Synod have thriving youth ministries. We seek to support and enable these groups to connect and gather, and to carry out God’s work in their communities. All are welcome.
