Board of Ministry in Mission
Rev. Nancy J. Larson
Synod Staff
"The Board of Ministry in Mission
shall be
responsible, in partnership with all expressions of this church, for
enhancing and promoting the awareness, on the part of all members of
this synod, of the total mission and ministry of this church at home
and abroad. This board assures that resources are available to
all congregations and Conferences for Cooperative Ministry of this
synod to inform them of this church's and this synod's efforts to
proclaim the Gospel and reach out to all people to bring them to
faith in Christ; to conduct ministry with a global awareness
consistent with the understanding of God as Creator, Redeemer, and
Sanctifier of all; to serve in response to God's love to meet human
needs, advocating dignity and justice for all people; to work for
peace and reconciliation among the nations; to nurture its members
in the word of God; and to manifest the unity given to the people of
God by joining with other Christians in prayer and action.
This board may form whatever subcommittees or other structures it
may find necessary or helpful to its work." (Taken from
S11.01.03.b. of the constitution of the Northeastern Iowa
Synod.)

Companion
Synod Work Group
The companion synod relationship exists for the
purpose of strengthening one another for life and mission within the
body of Christ. It offers us the privilege of mutually
participating in the life of another church through prayer, study,
communication, and exchange of pastors, leaders, visitors, and
resources. It opens our eyes to the global challenge that
Christ offers us today.
The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Republic of Namibia is our
companion synod. For more information about the
