Welcome

to the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin

Synod means walking together

Synod describes our interdependent ministry relationship as we support mission partners, carry out synodical and churchwide initiatives, provide for educational events and leadership training, respond to disaster and emergency needs, and heed the call to be a church engaged in all the world.

The Northwest Synod of Wisconsin is one of 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We are comprised of 191 congregations, over 81,000 members, and over 300 rostered ministers.

We acknowledge

that we are on the ancestral homelands of indigenous peoples of the Council of Three Fires including the Ho-Chunk, Menomonee, Dakota, and the Ojibwe which includes the Bands of Red Cliff, Bad River, Fond du Lac, Lac Courte Oreilles, Lac du Flambeau, Mille Lacs, and St. Croix. Each of these Nations and Bands is unique and sovereign.

Racial Justice & Equity Statement

The people and congregations of the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin believe we are a stronger and better church and society when we walk together instead of separated by skin color or ethnicity.  In response to the history of injustice and racism in America, the congregations of the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin reject systemic racism as sin that must be addressed by our church and society.
