5 Dare to Be Lutheran A little bit about Higher Things... Dare to be Lutheran is our motto at Higher Things. We dare the young, emerging adults of our churches to be Lutheran. This means dare to be different. We dare to be Christ-centered, putting the person and work of Jesus Christ for the justification of the sinner at the center of what we believe, teach, confess, and sing. We dare to embrace the Lutheran Confessions as our own and challenge our young people to do the same, standing in solidarity with their fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers. We dare to worship liturgically, historically, and traditionally, recognizing that we are not the first to believe nor will we be the last, should the Lord tarry in His appearing. Higher Things holds multiple conferences each summer and retreats all year-round, hosting anywhere from 350 1,400 young Lutherans at each conference and at a Retreat. We ve visited both coasts and a bunch of cities in between and taken them by storm! Our Conferences and Retreats are very reasonably priced for groups to attend as often as possible, and they provide a great opportunity for youth to learn more about what Christ s death on the cross means for them while meeting other Lutherans their age from all over the world. At Higher Things events, the worship is worshipful, the study is studious, and the fun is, well, fun!
