Bishop Election Committee Listening Session
2023-11-02 18:30 - 19:30 | Immanuel Lutheran Church, 16515 Luther Way, Eden Prairie, MN, 55346, United States
The Bishop Election Committee would like to invite you to a series of listening sessions that started on October 30, 2023. Throughout the fall, we want to create intentional spaces to hear from as many people in our congregations as possible as we work on our synod profile for the upcoming bishop election.
During these one-hour sessions, a pair from our bishop election committee will guide you through a series of questions. We’ll also invite you to share the gifts, responsibilities, and traits you’d like our next bishop in this Synod to have as we discern who God might be calling next to lead our Synod.
We are incredibly grateful to our host congregations who have opened their doors to host this series of listening sessions. In the meantime, bookmark the Bishop Election Committee page for updated information on our 2024 Bishop Election process.

January 2024 Ministerium
2024-01-25 08:30 - 12:00 | Oak Knoll Lutheran Church, Minnetonka, 600 Hopkins Crossroad, Minnetonka, MN, 55305, United States
Some say you can summarize Martin Luther’s theology in two words: “grace” and “vocation.” And, you could also say that Luther expanded the meaning of each word. Grace is sufficient (period). Grace is for all (no exceptions). And, with his theology of the “priesthood of all believers,” Luther was clear that each and every Christian has a vocation(s); all the baptized are called to lives of love for the neighbor in their daily life and work.
Our synod is sort of in “call committee” mode, preparing for the election and call of a new bishop. As part of the process, we invite all rostered leaders to gather for a Spring Ministerium for a conversation about Vocation.
Thursday, January 25, 2024; 8:30 a.m. – Noon
Oak Knoll Lutheran Church
600 Hopkins Crossroads, Minnetonka
We’ll begin with worship, including a time to celebrate and reflect on our own vocations, as well as a re-commissioning in our callings.
Following worship, we will hear some reflections from Bishop Ann on “The Role of Bishop as I’ve experienced it the past 12 years” and engage in conversation about God’s vision for our synod in the years ahead.
Please join us at Oak Knoll Lutheran Church!

Conference Assemblies
2024-02-10 09:00 - 12:30
Every voice matters. Our Church needs lay and rostered voting members to participate in Conference Assemblies in preparation for Synod Assembly in May. Please let your lay voting members know!

REGISTER

What are Conference Assemblies?
The congregations of the Minneapolis Area Synod are organized into 12 geographic conferences. These conferences are led by a dean, and representatives of the congregations meet at various times, but especially in preparation for synod assembly. Nominations and resolutions/memorials brought to the Synod Assembly come from these conference gatherings.
Voting members may also:

nominate bishop candidates
nominate people for synod-wide positions
nominate voting members for the 2025 Churchwide Assembly
elect conference positions

Who should attend?
These conference gatherings are open to clergy and lay participants from the congregations within the conference. Voting members from congregations for Synod Assembly in April are expected to attend. Your congregation should only send the number of voting members that are allotted for Synod Assembly. Visitors may attend. If you don’t know how many voting members should attend, you can look at the Lay Voting Member Assignment Formula or the List of Voting Members by Church.

2024 Minneapolis Area Synod Assembly
2024-05-02 17:00 - 2024-05-04 11:30 | Lord of Life, Ramsey, 14501 Nowthen Blvd NW, Ramsey, MN, 55303, United States
Minneapolis Area Synod Assembly

Like the early Christians gathered at Pentecost, we pray for the Spirit to fill us with “glad and generous hearts” as we gather for our 2024 Synod Assembly, May 2-4, at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Ramsey, MN.
Today’s world doesn’t always call us to our better selves – to live with ‘glad and generous hearts.’ Forces within our culture often seek to create bitterness, jealousy, and hoarding.
As Christians, we are called to be different – called to live with gladness, not because we are in denial of the challenges of the world, but because we are loved by a gracious and generous God; a God who also calls us to love the neighbor, following in the generous way of Jesus.
We are called to be community even when the basic fabric that supports relationship is being frayed. We are called to live as the early church – which also faced many challenges to community – by living with glad and generous hearts.
In addition to worship, fostering community, and discernment, we will be electing synod leaders – including the election of a new bishop. We will also have an opportunity to thank Bishop Svennungsen and the synod staff.
Join us at Synod Assembly May 2 – 4 as we seek together to live with gladness and generosity by the grace of God and for the sake of the world.

2024 Fall Joint Ministerium

Reformation Rekindled: Practicing A Living Catechism
Woodlake Lutheran Church
2120 W 76th St, Richfield
Join us at the Joint Fall Ministerium of the Saint Paul Area and Minneapolis Area synods at Woodlake Lutheran Church, Richfield!
Martin Luther wrote the Small Catechism as a teaching tool for faith, using all of the media at his disposal – stained glass windows, hymns and beer songs, paintings, and buildings. Today we have infinite media at our fingertips. What would it look like to introduce a Living Catechism to help share a vital and active faith with our people? Church Anew and the Lutheran Center at St. Olaf have been working with hundreds of faith leaders to shape such a resource. Join a conversation where they share learnings, experiments, and invite all of us to co-create A Living Catechism for this time and place.
Featured speakers: Dr. Deanna Thompson, Director of the Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community and Martin E. Marty Regents Chair in Religion and the Academy; Rev. Matthew Fleming, Executive Director of Church Anew; and Rev. Peter Carlson Schattauer, Associate Director of the Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community.

Synod Boundaries Training

November 21, 2024: 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

As people who work in ministry, we know the importance of relationships. We also know that healthy relationships depend upon clear and respectful boundaries. Rostered ministers especially need thoughtful and consistent training around boundaries because of the variety of their relationships.
Minneapolis Area Synod rostered leaders must attend Boundary Training Workshops every 3-5 years. Church staff members are encouraged to do the same. The workshop will be led mostly by LeaderWise with portions presented by Bishop Jen Nagel. The training costs $75 per person and includes materials, snacks, and lunch.
