Synod Council

A Synod Council, as specified in the synod constitution, governs the Northeastern Ohio synod between synod assemblies. This council makes decisions and recommendations concerning the life and mission of the synod. This body oversees the work of the various committees and task forces of the synod. rostered and lay people from the synod conferences and members of the Bishop’s staff comprise the synod council. The voting members of our annual synod assembly elect these rostered and lay members.
