Changes to Model Constitution for Congregations

During the ELCA Churchwide Assembly, amendments to the model constitution for congregations were made. It is recommended that ELCA congregations review the adopted amendments for their constitutions as soon as possible after each churchwide assembly to incorporate the required changes and to consider the recommended changes.

If you have questions about the process for making changes - or are ready to begin synod review of other changes you have made to your constitution, please reach out to Rev Tor Berg on our constitution review team (tberg@flcbothell.org) or the synod office at office@lutheransnw.org.
