Overview
Missional Youth Retreat, or MYR, Co-sponsored by CTX and the Texas District Youth Ministry, MYR is a five-day retreat where high school students are encouraged to discover their calling, experience their purpose and focus on their passion in mission work. They serve the greater Austin area and join in fellowship with Lutheran high schoolers from all over.
Each day is filled with powerful worship, meaningful Bible study and hands-on service learning opportunities. As opposed to other events, students in the MYR program get to practice ministry by serving around Austin. Both the students and the Austin community benefits from this event.
