The South-Central Synod of Wisconsin (SCSW-ELCA) is one of 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and is made up of 133 congregations and worshiping communities across 13 counties in south-central Wisconsin. For 2024-25 we are united under the theme: “Partner in Theology, Partners in Relationship, Partnership for the Sake of the Gospel.” Rooted in the scripture from Luke 24:13-35, the Walk to Emmaus, our theme calls us to journey together as we discern God’s call in a changing world. By partnering in theology, relationships, and the Gospel, we empower each other to navigate the complexities of modern ministry. As we walk this path, we do so with the understanding that our strength lies in our shared commitment to God’s mission. Through partnership, we are equipped to face challenges, celebrate successes, and faithfully serve as the body of Christ.
