Resource Center

The Resource Center for the Eastern North Dakota Synod is a ministry that provides an inviting space for conversation, learning, and previewing and borrowing resources. It serves as a crossroad, connecting individuals and congregations to one another and the larger church. Together with a network of ELCA and ecumenical resource centers, we help identify and interpret resources for lay leaders, teachers, pastors, and others.

Recommended Resource Collections

The Resource Center also produces downloadable topical and seasonal collections of resources. These “resource letters” include a reflection on each topic and highlight some of the best available resources and are shared regularly with pastors and leaders throughout this synod and across the church.
