Why Synod Assembly?
The Synod Assembly is the annual gathering of all 159 congregations of the Western North Dakota Synod. We gather together for worship, education, celebration, and to do the business of this synod. The 2025 Synod Assembly will be held in Minot, ND. The newly renovated Grand Oasis Hotel will be our host.
Who attends Synod Assembly?
Each congregation elects lay voting members based on their baptized membership numbers (see Voting Member Information for ratio). Rostered ministers (pastors and ELCA deacons) who hold a letter of call from a congregation or synod council, as well as retired ministers also have voice and vote in the assembly plenary sessions. Attendance at the assembly is expected of all rostered ministers under call. Anyone is welcome to attend the Synod Assembly by registering as a visitor and paying the visitor fee. Visitors do not have voice or vote at the Assembly.
What is the
THEME
of the 2025 Synod Assembly??
The 2025 Synod Assembly will gather under the theme “Rooted and Grounded in Love” (Ephesians 3:17).
