Middle School Youth Gathering
2025 Nebraska District Middle School Gathering
November 8-9, 2025 at Younes Conference Center South, Kearney
Preparations for the 2025 Nebraska District Middle School Youth Gathering are being made. The theme for our gathering, scheduled for November 8-9 at Younes Conference Center South in Kearney, is SHOW, based on Romans 5:8.

To ensure proper supervision of youth participants, the Nebraska District recommends a ratio of at least 1 adult for every 7 youth. Adult leaders must be at least 21 years of age, and groups with both male and female participants are strongly encouraged to have both a male and a female adult leader. Depending on the size of your group, it may be helpful for you to assign leaders to small groups.
Please note that you will register for the gathering and then make separate arrangements for housing with the hotel of your choice. Hotel costs are not included in the registration fee. Each group will pay housing fees directly to the hotel. This allows your group the flexibility of booking the number and type of rooms that fit your group best.
If your registration is postmarked by September 30, the fee is $110 per person. Between October 1 & October 15, registration is $120 per person. After October 15, registration is late, and the fee will be $150 per person. Full payment of gathering registration fees and completed emergency forms are required or your registration will be returned. DO NOT SEND FORMS WITHOUT PAYMENT. Please make only one payment per group. (NOTE: Online payment is NOT available for this event.)

What was the 2024 Middle School Youth Gathering like?
It is important for middle school youth to be reminded that every day we are called to GROW in the knowledge and truth of Jesus Christ as we learn how God PLANTS a seed of faith in us through baptism, PRUNES our lives for growth, and calls us to live by the Spirit to PRODUCE fruit for Him that lasts an eternity! The 2024 gathering theme was based on 2 Peter 3:18 and encouraged youth to GrOw continually!
