Synod Council

The Synod Council is an elected body of lay and clergy members from our Synod. The members are elected at Synod Assembly and make up the governing body of the WND Synod. The Synod Council makes decisions involving the fiscal plan, the budget, and many other important items. The Council has 24 members: the Bishop, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, one lay and one clergy from each of the seven conferences in western North Dakota, 3 members-at-large, one of which must be a youth elected by the Lutheran Youth Organization Board, and one representative from the LYO, Women of the ELCA, and Men in Mission.
