Sisters & brothers in Christ,

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Savior Jesus!

I invite you to give a few minutes of your time to take a survey that will provide direction to the Western North Dakota Synod.

We live in changing times, and as your bishop I want this synod to have a vibrant future. We’re in the process of listening to God and each other as we discern what bold steps we can take.

As part of this, we test your resonance with our new ‘Why’ statement for the Western North Dakota Synod:

“To encourage and equip the ministries of the Western North Dakota Synod – ELCA, so that the Good News of Jesus Christ is proclaimed, and all God’s children feel welcomed and included in the ministries to which God calls us.”

You can find the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WesternND-Survey

Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel.

Bishop Craig Schweitzer
