List of ELCA synods

August 22, 2023

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America consists of 65 synods which are configured into nine regional offices. Each of the synods of the ELCA elects one bishop and three synod council officers at its Synod Assembly to oversee the spiritual and organizational activities of its member congregations.[1]

denominations To avoid confusion with the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod the synod comprising the states of Kansas and Missouri is called the Central States Synod as to not contain the phrase Missouri Synod To avoid confusion with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod several synods in Wisconsin the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin East Central Synod of Wisconsin and South Central Synod of Wisconsin are named so as to not contain the phrase Wisconsin Synod Though the Slovak Zion Synod is officially part of Region 7 unlike other synods its territory is not made up of a geographic region but rather is composed of the locations of its member congregations some of which are not physically located within of Region 7 132 These congregations are in various parts of North America with members largely in the Northeast and Midwest though there is at least one member in the Canadian province of Ontario This synod shares special relationships with both the Southern Synod of Wisconsin and the Caribbean Synod 133 The Pacifica Synod comprises the state of Hawaii and Southeastern California 134 It is unrelated to the Californian city of the same name Multiple congregations in Northwestern Wyoming are members of the Montana Synod instead of the Rocky Mountain Synod Most member congregations of the Caribbean Synod are located in Puerto Rico but also has members in Bermuda and the US Virgin Islands 135 The Florida Bahamas Synod is made up of the entire state of Florida plus member congregations in The Bahamas Two US States are split While most synods cover the whole or part of one state some synods are made up of the territory of multiple states These include Northwest Intermountain Synod Idaho Eastern Washington Montana Synod Montana parts of Northwest Wyoming Sierra Pacific Synod
