The theme for 2026, including this year's Synod Assembly, is Going Deeper: Naming, Claiming, and Proclaiming. We will continue to consider hard questions of faith and to what God is calling us in today's world.

Our guest speaker is Rev. Dr. Laurie Skow-Anderson, the same guest speaker from our Congregational Resourcing Event. She has served as Bishop of the Northwest Synod of Wisconsin and previously served as its Director of Evangelical Mission.

Our Churchwide Representative is Rev. CeCee Mills, Secretary of the ELCA. We are excited to have one of our new officers of the ELCA as our churchwide representative.
