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.

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. Special thanks to all who helped plan and organize the 2025 KDYG! View photos below from the 2025 KDYG! 

The Spiritual Goals of the KDYG are to:

• Create an environment for the high school youth of Kansas to experience the grace of Jesus Christ and the greater body of believers through worship, Christian fellowship, Bible study, and service.
  
• Teach and challenge youth to apply the gathering themes, Biblical content, and testimonies heard at the gathering to their lives today.

• Assist congregations by equipping and encouraging adult leaders in the support of their youth.
