2025 Kansas District Youth Gathering

 

November 14-16, 2025

Rock Springs 4-H Ranch

Junction City, KS

Youth and adults from across the Kansas District gathered Nov. 14-16 at the Kansas District Youth Gathering (KDYG) to hear the promises of God that allow us to live “FearLESS” even in the face of the fallen and often frightening world. The theme of living “FearLESS” was accentuated throughout the weekend by study of God’s Word, in song, in fellowship, and as the attendees served their neighbors in service. Keynote speaker Chad Janetzke, Theology Department Chair of Martin Luther High School in Greendale, Wis., led those gathered through God’s Word and pointed to examples of God’s provision, salvation, and promises to His children throughout the Old and New Testaments.

Plans are already underway for the November 2026 KDYG, to be held in Wichita. Special thanks to all who helped plan and organize the 2025 KDYG! View photos below from the 2025 KDYG! 

The Kansas District Youth Gathering (KDYG) is a Kansas District youth event that happens annually during the month of November. It is specifically designed for youth who are currently in grades 9-12 and aims to foster faith in Jesus Christ through time of worship, study of God’s Word, and fellowship with one another.

Due to rising costs of hospitality contracts, the Kansas District Youth Gathering was moved to Rock Springs Ranch so that we could continue to provide high quality, Christ-centered programming while practicing good financial stewardship on behalf of the District and our congregations. As always, we welcome your support and feedback as we move forward. To learn more about Rock Springs Ranch, visit their website at https://rockspringsranch.org
