Northwestern Minnesota Synod

Northwestern Minnesota Synod

The Northwestern Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is a synod, or diocese of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The synod consists of all the congregations within its territory which includes 21 counties in northwestern Minnesota. The synod is headed by a bishop, currently the Reverend Lawrence Wohlrabe,[1] and a synodical council. The bishop is elected to a six year term by the synod assembly which meets every year and consists of all "rostered" ministers assigned to the synod and lay representatives from each congregation.

The synod was created when the ELCA was formed in 1988 as a result of the merger between the ALC, AELC and LCA.

The synod's offices are located at Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, 56562.
