Rostered Leaders' Report to the Bishop >

This report is typically mailed from the synod office in January. Online forms are available in a PDF format. Select the form that applies to your area of ministry. After you have complted it, save the form on your computer, then email as an attachment to Beth Helgen at beth.helgen@spas-elca.org.

Mobility Forms

The process by which a rostered leader (pastor, associate in ministry, diaconal minister, or deaconess) in the ELCA moves from one call to a new call is commonly referred to as mobility. The synod staff assists rostered leaders, congregations, campus ministries, and other places of specialized ministry in the call process and in moving from one call to a new call.

A blank set of mobility forms can be obtained by calling the synod office, but such forms need to be typed. If you would prefer to fill out the forms electronically, download them from the ELCA website.

Lay Rostered Leaders >

To fill out the form electronically, you will need to download a program called Formatta Filler. The Formatta forms have the most professional appearance, are easiest to fill in, can be saved to make updates easy, and can be emailed to the synod office. Directions for downloading are available at the above links.

Note of Caution: people have lost hours of work in the mistaken belief that the form is saved somewhere automatically upon closing Formatta. It is not. As soon as you have downloaded the mobility form, please save it to your own computer in a location in which you will be able to find it again later. 

If you have questions about mobility, contact Nancy Johnson  or call 651.224.4313.
