WELCOME to the La Crosse Area Synod. The La Crosse Area Synod is 75 congregations of 38,100 baptized Christians, partner camps, nursing homes, and Lutheran Campus Ministry of La Crosse. The area our ministries serve includes 10 counties in south western Wisconsin and south eastern Minnesota.
The La Crosse Area Synod is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States. We are a church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, committed to doing God’s work with our hands. More information about the ELCA can be found here.
