The East-Central Synod of Wisconsin is one of the 65 synods of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States.
Not to be confused with other Lutheran bodies, in which the national expression is called a synod, in the ELCA, a synod is most similar to a diocese or conference in other mainline denominations.
The East Central Synod of Wisconsin is made up of 119 congregations and approximately 64,200 baptized members, divided into six conferences: Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, Shawano, Tomorrow River, and Wisconsin River Valley. These conferences are made up of 21 counties in East-Central and Northeast Wisconsin: Adams, Door, Kewaunee, Brown, Manitowoc, Fond du Lac, Calumet, Winnebago, Outagamie, Shawano, Oconto, Menominee, Langlade, Lincoln, Marathon, Wood, Portage, Waupaca, Waushara, Marquette, and Green Lake.
The East-Central Synod of Wisconsin holds a Synod Assembly every year in addition to having a very active Lay School.
