The mission we share as the Western Iowa Synod is to energize and shepherd congregations and their leaders to tell about Jesus Christ and to serve together in Christ's name.

Western Iowa Synod Lay School members on a field trip to The Lutheran Center in Chicago. Would you like to visit The Lutheran Center and meet the folks who carry out the mission and ministry of the ELCA on a national level?

Another trip is being planned for April 23-25, 2009. If you're interested, please contact the synod office,
712-732-4968 or wisle@wisynod.org.
