Ministry Teams

Guiding the work of the synod are the vision statement and four priorities adopted by the synod assembly in 2000, and the new structure related to the vision statement adopted by the 2001 synod assembly.

Four ministry teams form the core of the structure. These teams address the goals related to each of the priorities.

In addition, other groups, task forces, committees, and organizational units are formed as needed to provide for other ministry functions of the synod.

The four teams correspond to the priorities and work to help the synod achieve outcomes for each priority.

The four ministry teams are—

• Worship and Spirituality

• Witness and Service

• Connection Building

• Leadership Development
