Meet the Ministry Partners Joining Us at Synod Assembly

One of the gifts of Synod Assembly is the opportunity to reconnect with one another while also discovering ministries that strengthen and extend the work we share across the church. As we gather June 11–13 for the 2026 Grand Canyon Synod Assembly, we invite you to spend time in our exhibitor and display area and connect with the many ministry partners joining us this year.

Throughout assembly, organizations, seminaries, advocacy ministries, camps, youth ministries, and mission partners will be present to share resources, stories, opportunities for involvement, and ways to deepen ministry in your congregation and community. Whether you are seeking ideas for faith formation, youth engagement, hunger ministries, theological education, advocacy, global mission, or congregational renewal, there will be much to explore.

We give thanks for the ministries and organizations who will be sharing their work with us this year, including:

  • Camp ALOMA and Retreat Center

  • CONNECTIONS/Fresh Expression Ministry

  • ELCA Global Mission – Rev. Kristin Engstrom, missionary

  • ELCA Schools and Learning Centers

  • Global Engagement Team

  • Grand Canyon Synod

  • Grand Canyon Synod Growing In Faith/Diakonia Program

  • Grand Canyon Synod Hunger Leaders Network

  • Leadership Lab and SYAT

  • Lutheran Campus Ministry

  • Lutheran Engagement and Advocacy in Nevada

  • Lutheran Social Services of the Southwest

  • Mosaic

  • Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary

  • Portico Benefit Services

  • Reconciling Works

  • Soreo, a service of Mosaic

  • Synod Youth Advisory Team/Leadership Lab

  • The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago

  • Women of the ELCA

These ministries represent many different ways the church lives out God’s mission in the world—through accompaniment, advocacy, leadership development, education, service, care, justice, and community-building.

Please take time during breaks and meals to stop by the exhibitor area, ask questions, pick up resources, and learn more about the ministries that help build up the body of Christ throughout our synod and beyond.

And to all of our exhibitors: thank you for being present, sharing your ministries, and helping strengthen the church we share together. We are grateful for your partnership.
