U.S. Tornadoes

Tornadoes have ripped through Oklahoma, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and Texas claiming many lives and damaging hundreds of homes. Through Lutheran Disaster Response, the ELCA is responding in areas affected by these tornadoes. Gifts to LDR, designated for "U.S. Severe Spring Storms," will be used entirely (100 percent) in response to these disasters. Give today>>

The Minneapolis Area Synod consists of 155 missions, ministries and congregations of the ELCA. The synod (a word which means "meeting together") includes urban, suburban, and rural communities in the greater metropolitan Minneapolis area. We are the largest of the ELCA's synods and home to some of the largest Lutheran congregations in the world.
