Weber Scholars
The Young Adult Faith and Climate Summit is a gathering of young adults and high school youth who are interested in the intersection of environmental justice, Lutheran theology, and science. The Summit features keynote speakers, workshops, and breakout sessions. Through the programming, we will explore our relationships to climate and the church in a cultural moment where past generations’ models fall short. At this summit, the focus will be on building community among those of us who share faith, values, questions, and hope, while also empowering us to shape the rest of our lives.
