About Us

The Synod's Vision

As the Southeastern Minnesota Synod, we ask God to:
   Gather the hopes and dreams of all,
   Unite them with the prayers we offer,
   Grace us with God's presence, and
   Send us in mission to
      MAKE CHRIST KNOWN!

The Southeastern Minnesota Synod is a faith community of 123,000 baptized people in 183 congregations as well as related institutions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, (ELCA). Our current bishop is the Rev. Harold L. Usgaard, who was elected in 2001.
