Conferences for Cooperative
Ministry

Iowa Synod work interdependently in geographical areas to form the

creatively assist each other in their ministries.
Shared ministries of
stewardship, evangelism, youth, education, and social ministry are
initiated with gifts and resources available within the
congregations, synod, churchwide ministries, and agencies
and institutions of the church.
