Gather by the Bay

Welcome to Gather by the Bay, a ministry for young adults, by young adults in the greater Green Bay area. Whether you’re navigating life’s big questions, looking for a supportive community, or just want to kick back and share some laughs, we’re here for you.

What is Gather by the Bay?

We’re the local chapter of the nationwide Gather Network: A ministry of ELCA Young Adults that connects young adults in cities or regions throughout and near the ELCA and creates space for young adults to join in fellowship, worship, community, and discussion. But here’s the fun part—this chapter is run by young adults in the Greater Green Bay Area, which means we get to shape it however we want!

What Do We Do?

We hope to create community for young adults (18-35 years old) across race, disability, faith background, gender, sexuality, and perspective to feel welcome to meet – to be – to gather.

What’s the Catch?

There isn’t one. Seriously.

We’re an open and welcoming space for anyone aged 18-35. No strings, no dues, no expectations—just show up as you are. Whether you’re exploring faith, questioning life’s direction, or just looking for people to share the ride, we’ve got your back.
