Annual Appeal supports
Pathways to Leadership

Gifts to the Northeastern Iowa Synod Annual Fund support synod ministries and strengthen the work of the church. This year’s “Pathways to Leadership” annual appeal will help fund leadership development in the synod, including Fund for Leaders tuition scholarships, lay ministry training, support for new pastors and deacons, resources for congregations in transition and more!

H. George Anderson 
Fund for Leaders

The H. George Anderson Fund for Leaders provides scholarships for seminary students to help with the high costs of education and to encourage new people to enter the ministry. Providing scholarships to seminary students may also attract more first call pastors to the Northeastern Iowa Synod.

Young Adults
In Global Mission

The Northeastern Iowa Synod supports young adults who serve in our companion synod in Hungary through the ELCA’s Young Adults in Global Mission (YAGM) program. In addition, this synod encourages support for volunteers from Northeastern Iowa who serve in other countries through the YAGM program.

Congregations and individuals can support these young adult volunteers by following their blogs, subscribing to their newsletters, writing letters, praying for them, and sponsoring them with financial support.

Lay Ministry
Training Program

Help support a new Lay Ministry Training program that will give congregation leaders the tools and support they need to carry out ministry when congregations are without a pastor or deacon.

With your help, Lay Ministry Training will ensure that lay leaders are:

• equipped with skills to preach and lead worship
• surrounded with the support of teachers, mentors, and classmates
• affirmed through a vetting process
