Welcome!

We appreciate your investment in the work of being the church together—essentially what a synod is. We are more than congregations and individuals each with our own personality, gifts, challenges, and priorities, but our intentionality of doing things together that we could never do on our own. And then that work together in turn blesses all those congregations and individuals as well.

Just as in congregations, our stewardship as synod involves not only our treasure—Mission Support for which we are grateful—but our talent. Your input on a ministry team (talents) will help us avoid coming up with ideas we think will benefit our congregations and communities and then trickling them down to you. Instead, we want and need participation from on-the-ground members of congregations like you to help guide us into the ways we can best pursue our guiding principles of Vital Congregations and Whole and Healthy Leaders.

Thank you!

Bishop Tim Smith
