As a church together, we can have a greater impact in your community and beyond, sharing God’s abundant grace with others by offering more enrichment and education opportunities and resources to congregations and leaders in programs like the Dandelion Project Too, Building a Culture of Generosity, Stewardship for All Seasons, and Growing in Faith lay school.

Mission Support is the portion of regular offerings that your congregation shares for synod and churchwide ministries for God’s mission beyond the local congregation. For more about how the Northeastern Ohio Synod is stewarding your gifts, please visit neos-elca.org/our-stories.

Mission Support Statement of Intent

Annually, we ask congregations to share with us what they intend to send for Mission Support each year.
​Please complete one of the forms linked below.

Congregational Mission Support REmittance Forms

The NEO Synod greatly appreciates the Mission Support contributions your congregation makes. We are encouraging congregations to consider sending their Mission Support by ACH or on-line banking. The Synod has established a new “deposit only” checking account for this purpose. Contact Chris Goff, NEOS business manager, at [email protected] for account details and then follow the ACH payment instructions below.
We encourage your congregation to give gifts directly to our separately incorporated ministry partners (i.e. HopeWood Outdoors, Trinity Lutheran Seminary at Capital University, St. Luke Lutheran Community, Lutheran Metropolitan Ministries, etc) so that your generous gifts to those partners can be attributed to your congregation and so that there are no mistakes made with your gifts.

If you need help knowing where to send those gifts, please contact the Administrative Assistant at the NEOS offices: 330-929-9022
