Congregations in Transition
Transitions are a part of life, filled with both challenge and opportunity. For communities of faith, transitions are fertile ground for God’s transformational work. When a congregation begins this journey of transformation, the Metro D.C. Synod staff accompanies congregations and rostered ministers.
Leadership Academy Events
One of the Metro D.C. Synod’s priorities is to equip and develop healthy leaders – both rostered and lay leaders in our congregations. To do that, we have intentionally developed the Leadership Academy – an educational program with industry and theological experts that will equip, educate, and develop rostered ministers and lay leaders on various topics and ministry tools.
Documents & Forms
There are many documents and forms that congregations need in order to carry out their ministry. You can find helpful links such as how to submit your Forms A&C to the ELCA, your 2024 statement of intent for the Metro D.C. Synod, the model constitution, and how to request a visit to your congregation from a synod staff member!
