Synod office job postings

Disaster Capacity Builder (Full-Time)

Historically, disaster preparedness and response were provided in the state of North Dakota through Lutheran Social Services of North Dakota. With the closure of LSSND, the Eastern and Western North Dakota Synods are creating this new position, funded with a three-year grant from Lutheran Disaster Response of the ELCA. The purpose of the position is to build disaster resiliency and response preparedness with and among ELCA Lutherans in the Eastern and Western North Dakota Synods. The position is accountable equally to both synod bishops, with supervision and employment being managed by the Western North Dakota Synod.

Director of Generosity (Full-Time)

The Eastern North Dakota Synod has a long history of a highly successful 20+ year-old endowment (Vital Leaders Endowment) supporting rostered ministers (pastors and deacons) in the synod. Building upon this success, the Eastern North Dakota Synod is developing multiple new endowments as well as building a renewed focus on an annual fund appeal to compliment the highly successful annual Giving Hearts Day regional giving campaign.


The Director of Generosity will have lead responsibility for telling the story of vibrant mission and ministry in the synod through relationships with current and future donors and inviting financial gifts toward annual giving, major gifts, endowment funds, and new initiatives. Priority is given in this position to the cultivation of a diverse fabric of generosity and giving through individual relationships. Additionally, a culture of generosity will be cultivated so as to permeate the whole culture of the synod so that all ministries (congregational, synod, etc.) are enhanced. This position is an extension of the office of the bishop and reports directly to the bishop.
