The Synod of the Northeast is renewing its commitment to investing in the leaders who shape the life of the Church—today and for generations to come.

Matthew 25 calls the church to more than good intentions. It calls us to action shaped by truth—because how we treat our neighbors matters to God, and because the gospel demands that we face what has wounded God’s people.
The Synod of the Northeast would like to thank you for your per capita gift. Ten of our Nineteen Presbyteries have paid their 2026 per capita in full!
The Synod is pleased to invite you to an exploratory conversation about a new Synod-wide Commissioned Pastor (CRE) Training Program designed to cultivate strong, accessible, and unified preparation for commissioned pastoral leaders across our region.
The Synod of the Northeast’s Mission Working Group prayerfully and thoughtfully evaluated fifteen grant applications, ultimately recommending more than $60,000 in strategic investments to support Campus Ministry and Youth and Young Adult Leadership Development initiatives across the Synod region.
