The "Coming of Age" theme has a twofold meaning. LMM is marking its 20th anniversary by becoming a financially self-reliant, separately-incorporated ministry of the ELCA.
The theme also refers to a spirituality project LMM undertook to understand what churches can do to engage young men between the ages of 18 and 34. As part of the project, 88 young men from across the United States participated in extensive interviews. Sixteen of those interviewed organized the LMM Young Men's Ministry Council. The results of the project were presented in the book, "Coming of Age: Exploring the Identity and Spirituality of Younger Men." The gathering's purpose is to bring men of all ages into a deeper relationship with God and assist younger and older men in building intergenerational relationships.

"We will serve, we will play, we will learn, we will worship, we will encounter God — and each other – and we will grow" said Doug Haugen, Director, Lutheran Men in Mission, ELCA offices.
A 48,000-square-foot interactive center will include room for building Habitat for Humanity sheds, high-ropes courses and other games.
The gathering will be preceded by the 2008 LMM Assembly July 31- Aug. 1. The organization's triennial business session will elect a president to succeed Heber Rast, Cameron, S.C., and other officers and board members. Rast will complete his second three-year term. The assembly will adopt a budget for LMM and celebrate the organization becoming an incorporated, self-funded ministry of the ELCA with a full-time staff.
