All In Relational ministry is less about having the right answers and more about being present. It’s about showing up with curiosity, compassion, and courage to enter meaningful conversations.

This year's Fall Leadership Conference will be held at Lutherdale in Elkhorn, WI. The guest speaker is Rev. Tim Brown, Director for Congregational Stewardship Support in the Office of the Presiding Bishop. Delving into the discipleship roots of generosity, we’ll explore the theological and practical ways that stewardship enlivens followers of Christ and the whole church, and we’ll reimagine together how that can be lived out in the local congregation.
The synods of Region 5 (the synods in Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) are collaborating to present annual boundaries education for active Rostered Ministers and Synod Authorized Ministers. Professional lay church staff are also welcome to attend.
Save the date for Together in Mission, our synod’s annual learning gathering for lay and rostered leaders! Together we’ll worship, celebrate our partnership in the Gospel, and learn together on a variety of ministry topics.
