2025
Northern Great Lakes Synod
Synod Assembly

Friends of the Northern Great Lakes Synod...

We are thrilled to have you join us for the in person 2025 NGLS Synod Assembly located at Bethel Lutheran Church in Ishpeming, MI and Northern Michigan University in Marquette, MI

 

As the synod gathers, we invite you to consider how your church, your congregation, and the Synod together, nurtures seeds of faith. 1 Corinthians 3:6, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth”, speaks to an arc of growth where the Apostle Paul planted seeds of faith and that is all. It was Apollos who watered them, nurtured those seeds, and witnessed some growth, and of course, he only witnessed the growth, he did not cause the growth. That is the work of the Holy Spirit. We invite you to find ways to nurture and provide opportunities, space, and encouragement for faith to grow.
