The bilateral relationships between our churches and Lutheran church bodies in other countries are called companions. The Companion Synod Program is a concrete expression of the communion fellowship among the 140 member churches of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) and an exciting way ELCA members can engage in global mission!

The East Central Synod of Wisconsin is partnered with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in South Africa and the Rocky Mountain Synod of the ELCA.
