As staff in the Office of the Bishop have sought to equip and support leaders and congregations, they have coordinated many synod-sponsored events. Some of these include Tool Kit for Congregational Leaders, Ministerium, and Bishop's Theological Conference. Our synod also gathers annually for conference assemblies and synod assembly.
Calendar
All events hosted by the synod, plus more happening throughout our congregations and larger church-body, can be found on the calendar page. If your congregation, ministry setting, or organization is sponsoring an event that has synod-wide appeal, email the full details to communications@spas-elca.org to be featured in our calendar.
Synod Assembly
The Saint Paul Area Synod Assembly gathers annually in the springtime. As the highest legislative authority of the synod, delegates from congregations engage in conversation and vote on resolutions, synod council and committee nominations, in addition to other synod business.
Tool Kit for Congregational Leaders
Tool Kit for Congregational Leaders is an annual gathering for congregational leaders. A day of workshops and networking, leaders go back to their congregations equipped with new resources, ideas, connections, and friends!
