OUR SYNOD

On the way together.

The Saint Paul Area Synod is one of 65 synods in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Made up of 110 congregations and new starts, the Saint Paul Area Synod works to build mutually transformative partnerships, embolden public witness for justice, and renew ourselves in the possibilities of being church in a new day.

Our common work includes domestic partnerships and renewal as well as being a part of the global church by walking with companions in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT) and the Iglesia Luterana Agustina de Guatemala (ILAG).

 FROM THE BISHOP

How We Live Out Our Faith

In recent weeks we have witnessed the evil killing of adults and children by gun violence....Our own humanity calls us to both grieve and to act in a way that addresses the hatred, fear and racism underlying too much of such violence in our country. How we live out our faith matters to all our neighbors in this time of fractured, broken, and distrustful relationships within and beyond our congregations.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Saint Paul Area Synod is made up of congregations, mission starts and institutions committed to growing in faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Living out of our identity as Lutheran, we recognize we are grasped by grace and are free to devote our energy to being church in a way that is rooted in tradition and open to experimentation.
