Our role is to: help unite the work of congregations in our area, provide support for congregational ministry, outreach and mission, provide theological and pastoral leadership to rostered leaders, and to guide pastoral and other staff candidates through the call process.
Our Synod is made up of 7 conferences and includes 182 congregations, 89,922 members and 299 Rostered Leaders within Northwest Ohio.
The Rev. Marcus Lohrmann serves the Northwest Ohio Synod as its Bishop. Our Synod Staff serves along side the Bishop from our offices in Findlay, Ohio.
The Synod Council serves as the board of directors and as the interim legislative authority between meeting of the Synod Assembly. It may make decisions between meetings of the Synod Assembly.
