Synod Leadership

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.
