The Office of the Secretary of the ELCA will have an informative session on the 2025 changes to the congregational model constitution as well as tips on how to make the process of changing your constitution as smooth as possible. 

Whether we like it or not, God has flipped the script on what it means to be church. The goal has been to attract members to join the congregation, financially support the institution, and be active in the organization’s scheduled events. This model of church has disintegrated in our lifetime.

Join an upcoming virtual town hall introducing the new Church Property Resource Hub. A project of the ELCA, the Church Property Resource Hub is being developed in response to requests from synod and local congregation leaders for support in navigating the challenges and opportunities that buildings and land represent.
