Synodical Leadership

 

Synod Leadership

Synod Leaders at the 2002 Synod-Churchwide Consultation

Each of the 65 synods of the ELCA elects one bishop and three synod council officers for leadership, vision, and expertise.  Synod Bishops are elected to six year terms and may be limited by the synod constitution. Terms and limitations for synod council officers are determined by the synod's constitution.  In order to strengthen the relationship between synod leaders and the churchwide office, various units relate to and support the work of the leaders.
