Region 2 Spotlight: Sierra Pacific Synod

The Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) stands as a vibrant and diverse community of nearly 180 congregations, stretching across Northern California and Northern Nevada. Under the leadership of Bishop Jeff R. Johnson, the synod embodies our Lutheran commitment to faith, service, and justice.

Through its various ministries and initiatives, the Sierra Pacific Synod fosters a deep connection among its congregations, providing resources, support, and opportunities for collaboration. The synod actively engages in addressing social issues, promoting inclusivity, and advocating for those on the margins. This commitment is evident in their support for racial justice, climate action, and programs that uplift the voices of youth and young adults in the church.

With a focus on empowering congregations and encouraging grassroots initiatives, the Sierra Pacific Synod is making a meaningful impact on the spiritual and social landscape of the region. To learn more about their work and how you can get involved, visit their website at Sierra Pacific Synod.
