On July 27th we will depart from Lakewood Presbyterian Church and head to Louisville, Kentucky for the Presbyterian Triennium Youth Conference. July 28-31, 2025, the Presbyterian Church (USA) will welcome thousands of its high school age youth and their adult youth workers to Louisville, Kentucky for four days of worship, recreation, bible study, outreach, and faith formation all around the theme of “As If We Were Dreaming”. When God restores our hope and brings us back to ourselves (physically, spiritually, metaphorically) it can seem as if it is a dream; a dream come true. Dreams play an important role in the biblical narrative. It is often through dreams that God speaks to God’s beloved. Sometimes it is a promise. Sometimes it is a warning. Always it is a reminder that we are not alone; God sees us and is with us.
Most programming and meals will be held at the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC) with all participants housed at nearby Triennium hotels.
Youth Participants (YP) who are entering freshmen through graduated seniors in high school and are active in PC(USA) or Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Youth Participants do not have to be official church members.
Adult Advisors (AA) who are aged 22 & over and are recommended and affirmed by their church, mid council, and/or caucus to serve as delegation chaperones.

The Presbytery of the Western Reserve is going to Triennium!
A delegation of youth from all over Northeast Ohio will travel on a chartered bus to Louisville, Kentucky for an experience to remember forever. Some from larger churches, some from small churches. Some with lots of friends from their congregation, and some who are the only youth in their church.
