Synod Handbook and Directory

The synod handbook contains information about committees, rostered leaders, congregations, trend reports, and synod assembly minutes. Previously, the handbook was printed and mailed to rostered leaders and congregations. In an effort to save resources, become more accessible, and improve accuracy, the handbook is now an electronic document. It is password protected to ensure information security.

Updates to contact information, roster status, and mobility will be made on a monthly basis. Although we are working to ensure accuracy, mistakes can happen. If you notice incorrect information or broken links to pages, websites, or email addresses, please notify Kate Penz at 651.224.4313 or kate.penz@spas-elca.org. Last updated January 25, 2012
