Constitution Resources

Every congregation should have an updated constitution in line with the ELCA Model Constitution. Please use the resources below as a guide and call the synod office if you have questions. The NWOS Constitutions Committee is a resource as congregations are in the process of updating their constitution, and the Synod Council must approve each congregational constitution once it is ratified at a legal congregational meeting. Contact the Synod Office for more information and questions: 419.423.3664.
