Welcome to the Mitten Synod!

We are the North/West Lower Michigan Synod. As one of 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we work to support the 115 congregations and 220 pastors across our geographic region.
Whether you are exploring the Christian faith, the Lutheran tradition, or what it means to become part of a faith community or you are a leader looking for information or help, we seek to partner with and serve you.
