Sharing Christ - Making Disciples - Doing Justice
Wondering what God is up to? Have some ideas of your own? God speaks to everyone.
We'd like to hear where you've met God in the world. Together we can share in Jesus' story.

Are all synods the same?
| 
The ELCA's 65 synods vary greatly in size, geography, membership, staffing and program. Our smallest synod has 30 congregations – the largest nearly 300. Geographically, in the Saint Paul Area Synod, most congregations are within a half-hour drive of the synod office; by contrast, the Rocky Mountain Synod includes 20% of the continental U.S. land mass, requiring frequent staff travel by air. From Alaska to the Caribbean, from the tip of southern California to Maine, the 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America carry out their mission of Making Christ Known!
