The synod assembly is the annual gathering of pastors, associates in ministry, lay voting members and visitors who represent the congregations that make up the Eastern North Dakota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Attendance at the assembly is expected of all pastors and associates in ministry under call. We look forward to being with you at the assembly!
