WHO
Youth who have completed 9th-12th grade will engage in vocational discernment in community.
WHAT
An annual weeklong on-campus experience for high school students at Augsburg University with daily exploration in the neighborhood and the city.
PROGRAM
Together in community, high school participants learn how to practice vocational discernment through a variety of experiences including –
- intentional community building with small groups led by college mentors
- daily spiritual practices of prayer, journaling, first word, and worship
- learning how spiritual gifts and strengths inventories can deepen our understanding of the gifts God has us
- reading books and articles that invite academic inquiry as a way of understanding theology and vocation
- community based learning in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and the greater Twin Cities
HOPE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
Our hope is that by the end of the CONFLUENCE, each participant will have gained a deeper insight into who they are and the life they want to lead as children of God. These stories all flow together – it’s simple.
COST
The cost is $350/participant and covers the cost of all on campus programming. Participants are responsible for transportation to and from Augsburg University. It is recommended that faith communities cover part to full cost for participants. This is a local decision.
PAY HERE!
