Every FLY activity will help you GROW in your faith and relationships with others.
There are countless ways to CONNECT with God and other youth in FLY.
God has called us to SERVE others, reflecting Christ to people in need.

You can sign-up online here if you’d like to serve in one of these ways. If you don’t see a role on the online sign-up, please contact Elizabeth Balentine as some of these roles are assigned on a rotation basis. Thank you for serving God’s church!

In July of 2025, 17 FLYers and 5 adults joined 18,000 other Lutheran teens from all over the world in New Orleans, LA for the Youth Gathering! The Gathering is held every three years and is an AWESOME experience! The week was filled with incredible worship, insightful speakers, amazing service opportunities, and great memories made with other Christians!
Thank you to everyone who is supporting and praying for our group as they experienced “ENDURE” in New Orleans!
We can’t wait to head to San Antonio for the 2028 Youth Gathering!
Youth in high school and college serve on week-long mission trips throughout the country every summer FLY doesn’t attend a National Youth Gathering. FLY partners with Group Mission Trips to repair homes and share the love of Jesus with home-owners. In 2024, many FLYers served with other youth groups in Erie, PA for a Group Work Camp.
We can’t wait to serve with Group Mission Trips in Detroit on July 11-18, 2026!
While you’ll always be a FLYer, we recognize that your needs are different than a high schooler. This group… this ministry is for you. Expect to be encouraged in your faith journey through discussions & Bible studies, hang out with other young adults, and help plan future events for young adults.
Be part of this ministry by joining our FLY Young Adults Facebook group or our FLY Young Adults Instagram.
