Global Mission & Companion Synods

Companion Synods

As a participant in the ELCA Companion Synod Program, the ELCA Southeastern Synod engages in companionship with five church bodies around the world:

Companionships are bilateral relationships between ELCA synods and congregations in the United States and either church bodies in other countries or other synods here in the ELCA. The Companion Synod Program is a concrete expression of the communion fellowship among the 140 member churches of the Lutheran World Federation and an exciting way ELCA members can engage in global mission.
