Synod of the Northeast

The Six Pillars

The six pillars not only bring the vision to life, but also provide the structure and stability needed to ensure long-term success. Through focusing on Theology and Spiritual Formation, Governance, Storytelling and Communication, Regional Learning, Grants, and Collaboration, the Synod of the Northeast is positioned to shape what faithful, sustainable ministry can be in the church and the world.
Governance

Governance within the Synod of the Northeast serves as more than organizational structure — it enables a spiritual practice of shared leadership and accountability

Theology & Spiritual Formation

The Synod nurtures discipleship and spiritual depth through intentional practices of study, prayer, and discernment.

Collaboration

The Collaboration Pillar fosters sustainability, innovation, and vitality among presbyteries within the Synod of the Northeast.

Grants

At the heart of the Grants Pillar lies a bold and hopeful vision to build community, embrace diversity, deepen accountability, and cultivate sustainable gospel-rooted ministry.

Regional Learning

Committed to engaging in meaningful dialogue, conversations, and storytelling, the Regional Learning Pillar will develop timely webinars and in-person meetings to address identified Synod needs and requests.

Storytelling & Communication

The Storytelling & Communication Pillar emerges from our conviction that faithful storytelling is itself a ministry—one that weaves together identity, mission, and witness so the whole Church may see, hear, and be moved by God’s transforming work.
