Continuing education
Healthy & growing leaders are needed for healthy & growing congregations, which is why the Synod is constantly offering training & formative experiences for pastors and deacons.
Our Place in the Church
A synod is one of three interdependent ways of being Christ’s Church for the life of the world. Each of our ELCA expressions is fully the Church. No one expression is the Church alone.
Congregation Tools
The gears continually turning behind the scenes are also a form of ministry. Council presidents, treasurers, and secretaries need the support and resources that keep congregations on solid ground.
