2025 ELCA Churchwide Assembly

The ELCA Churchwide Assembly, the primary decision-making body of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, is a process of communal spiritual discernment. When the ELCA Churchwide Assembly convenes, its voting members meet with confidence in God’s grace around word and water, wine and bread, to carry on their work on behalf of the entire church.

Portico Webinars for Region 1 this August

All ELCA-Primary Health Plan options are changing for 2026. Before Annual Enrollment begins, you’ll want to understand how the new plans will work, what factors you should consider to determine what’s best for you, and how to navigate the new tools we’re creating to help your decision process.

Not-Your-Average Boundaries Training

LeaderWise’s online boundaries training workshop is lively and interactive, full of reflection and conversation. Attendees have given us feedback that our boundaries training was a great experience, AND caused them to re-evaluate some of their own practices.

I do not think it’s a stretch to say that God is doing something new right now. Sometimes I wish I could predict what it is. Other times I am simply up for the adventure and hope I can keep up. Whatever is happening, I do find it helpful to remember that we are not the first ones to experience new things.

Excellence in Leadership

Lin Carlson
August 20, 2023
E-News, Educational

Excellence in Leadership is a ministry born out of the need for courageous and resilient people in the church, in organizations, and in the world.  We are currently living in a time that asks specifically for leaders who have the capacity to think about the future in new ways and we believe that effective leadership begins with the individual and is honed in community.

Reconciled at The Table

Lin Carlson
August 20, 2023
E-News

As a church we have forgiveness to offer, and as we are becoming more and more aware, we have repentance to offer, to many who we’ve harmed. Likewise, as individuals and in our congregations the same is true. Even though it may not be easy, and even if you don’t quite feel like it yet, don’t procrastinate in this labor.

In entering into this movement we are “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) and loving God and neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39) in powerful ways. This work will not result in justification before God. It is simply one more way to respond to a God whose love is abundant and everflowing.

We are definitely in a season of transition. Being in transition can be unsettling and uncomfortable. A very human response to that discomfort is the desire to conclude it as quickly as possible. In my work with these ministry sites, I urge folks to navigate transition with a posture of patience and openness.

Manlove’s own story as bishop of the Northwest Intermountain Synod will begin July 1. As she looked ahead to her new role, she cited post-pandemic communication as the biggest internal challenge for a synod that stretches across half of Washington state, includes all of Idaho and reaches into Wyoming.
