Synodical leadership
I have been a Lutheran only very recently, and read that certain synods do not have bishops. Does WELS have bishops? If so, how can I find out who my bishop/arch-bishop is? If not, why not? Thank you very much for your consideration and time.
The organizational structure of WELS includes a Synod President and twelve District Presidents.
The WELS website includes information on synodical and district leadership, including who your district president is.
This link will take you to the section of the website that includes that information. Once you land on the new page, look for a link under “Synod Leadership and Related Organizations.”
Welcome to our church body. God’s blessings!
