The WELS International Youth Rally exists to ensure that the next generation knows Christ, trusts his promises, and is prepared to serve Christ’s church with a clear, confident Lutheran faith. It’s designed to further connect teens to their Savior as they live lives of faith and service to their God in church, community, and with peers today and tomorrow.

At the 2026 rally, teens from across the country will gather in Ohio to explore their calling to be Christ’s ambassadors. This youth rally is for teens. Workshops hit on timely teen topics. Performances and recreation are planned with teens in mind.

Join us as we continue to make the youth rally accessible to youth from huge churches in big cities to small churches in farming communities. Your sponsorship allows us to enhance the rally experience while keeping it affordable to all youth. We would love to chat with you further about what option would best fit your organization.
