2016 Model Constitution for Congregations now available on ELCA website

Required updates to the Model Constitution for Congregations were adopted at the 2016 ELCA Churchwide Assembly in August. Now is the time to review your constitution and add in these newly adopted changes.

Please review your current congregational constitution and begin the process of incorporating the required changes so your constitution is in line with the model constitution.
