Saskatchewan Synod

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Saskatchewan synod is one of the five synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC).[1]

The synod comprises congregations and ministries in the province of Saskatchewan and four congregations located in western Manitoba.[1] There are 115 congregations comprising about 26,000 baptized members and 3 ministries.[1]

Their office is located at #6 – 2220 Northridge Drive in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[2] As of June 2024, Rev. Dr. Ali Tote is serving as the bishop.[3]

The ELCIC has two seminaries, one of which is located within the Saskatchewan synod border, Lutheran Theological Seminary in Saskatoon.[4]
