2026 Youth Conference

We are partnering with Lutherans for Life to host a youth pro-life conference focused on educating young people about abortion and how to have respectful, effective conversations on the topic.

Attendees will hear from post-abortive mother Shana Pletz, who will share her personal story and how abortion has negatively impacted her life. They will also hear from Dr. Jerry Obrtisch, a pro-life OB-GYN who practiced for over 30 years.

The afternoon will include guided discussion and dialogue aimed at teaching participants how to engage thoughtfully and confidently in conversations with those who hold pro-choice views.

The conference will be held at the Heritage Museum in Bismarck, North Dakota, from 10 am to 3 pm. Registration is $20, and lunch is provided.
