We are excited to announce the debut of the Board & Synod Resource Library! This collection of resources is available to members of local boards, synod staff, and anyone else who cares about campus ministry! Please share this information with anyone who you think would be interested in it.

What’s included in the library?

  • Video presentation on the role of churchwide, synods, and local ministries in ELCA Campus Ministry

We hope you find these resources helpful! Please email Laura Sinche, LuMin Education Coordinator, with comments or suggestions for additional resources.
