The ELCA Churchwide Assembly is the primary decision-making body of the denomination, and it is meeting right now  in Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 8-12.  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. Over the course of the assembly, voting members:

  • Hear reports and review the work of churchwide officers, leaders and units;
  • Receive and consider proposals from synod assemblies;
  • Elect officers, board members and other leaders as specified by the constitution or bylaws;
  • Establish ELCA churchwide policy;
  • Worship together;
  • Adopt a budget; and
  • Conduct other business related to the ELCA churchwide organization.
You can watch the assembly online here. Please pray for the people gathered as they discern where the Spirit is calling our shared church.
