Walking together for the sake
of mission in God's world

The Northwest Synod of Wisconsin
is one of 65 synods of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church in America. We are
comprised of 201 congregations,
over 106,000 members, and over
300 clergy and rostered leaders.

 

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

Just Add Water

God makes this bold promise in Isaiah 41:17-19
"When the poor and needy seek water . . . I will open rivers . . . I will make the wilderness a pool of water . . . so that everyone may know that the hand of the Lord has done this."
In spite of the challenge before them, the Lord is promising his children to provide what they need in order to blossom and grow. "I'll just add water," God says, "and watch what happens!" Young and old are scooped up and carried into the kingdom. The hungry are fed and the naked are clothed. Disciples are grown and the good news is shared.

Follow our newest congregation, Living Water in Cameron, Wisconsin, as they embark on an exciting mission to "serve others through Christ" when they "just add water."
