Save the date and join us for the 2026 Congregational Resourcing Event on March 7, 2026 at Sauk Valley Community College. More information will be released in January of 2026.
The Congregational Life Committee is now accepting applications for Congregational Resourcing Event Workshops for 2026. In particular, we are looking for engaging, interactive workshops that will show a unique ministry that congregations can try for themselves.
Together, as the body of Christ, we raised a record-breaking $326,612 for ELCA World Hunger! This is the largest single-synod contribution to date. These contributions are already at work addressing both immediate needs and the root causes of hunger, supporting efforts such as community meals, clean water projects, microloans, livestock programs, health clinics, and advocacy initiatives.
ELCA World Hunger is dedicated to working toward a just world where all are fed. Your generosity is transforming lives and helping communities thrive for generations to come.
The Northern Illinois Synod (NIS) is one of 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Bishop Stacie Fidlar welcomes you. We hope these pages provide you the information you seek. Thank you for visiting. All are welcome in the congregations of the Northern Illinois Synod.
Your generosity is changing lives
