Companions in Ministry

The Northern Illinois Synod encourages the building of personal relationships by developing parish to congregation partnerships. By learning from those who have active partnerships, we are trying to reawaken dormant ones and establish new ones. We focus on prayer and communication, and, with the Holy Spirit at the core, we are moved to action.

Follow the links on the right to find resources for Companion Congregations and to find out more about Companions in the ELCA.

The Northern Illinois Synod is companions with the Arusha Diocese in Tanzania and the Arcot Lutheran Church in India
