The word “synod” refers to a group of Christians who “walk together” because
they share the same beliefs.- A synod is nothing other than a large congregation joining together to do God’s work.
- We send out missionaries to preach the Word of God around the world.
- We are actively involved in medical missions and other humanitarian efforts.
- We train men and women to be future pastors, teachers, missionaries, and staff ministers.
- We own and operate two prep schools, one college, and one seminary.
