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 199 congregations,
over 105,000 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.
