Our Companion Synod in Russia

Since the end of Soviet Rule and the re-establishment of Lutheran faith communities in Russia, financial help to restore decayed churches and support the pastoral needs of congregations has been difficult to generate. As a result, in 1999 the Northwest Washington Synod opened the door to a partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER).
