Pulpit Supply
A synod bishop has jurisdiction over who provides worship leadership and preaching in congregations of the synod. This primarily takes place through the call process. During times of pastoral vacancy, illness, disability, or vacation, a congregation may enlist the services of an available ELCA pastor, an ecumenical colleague, or someone on the synod's pulpit supply list.
The Pulpit Supply List includes information about appropriate compensation for those providing pulpit supply.
