Our 2025 Assembly theme is “Our Heritage, Our Hope,” with the Scripture reference from Psalm 100: “God’s Faithfulness to All Generations.”
This theme and scripture were selected in collaboration with the 200th Anniversary Planning Team, as we aim to highlight God’s enduring faithfulness throughout time—covering the past, present, and future—in relation to the ministry within and through the South Carolina Synod.
We are thrilled to come together, not only to conduct the business of the Synod, but also to hear the inspiring stories of ministry happening across our Synod, learn from one another, and reflect on how we’ve worked together over the past 200 years to share the Good News. Our Synod is blessed with countless incredible and creative leaders, faithful congregations, and dedicated members, and we are excited to celebrate this significant milestone in ministry together!
Did you know that The James R. Crumley Jr. Archives has existed formally for more than 30 years as a mandated, non-profit agency of the ELCA, but it contains the records of Lutherans who have been in this region for hundreds of years. It is there that centuries-old stories are preserved for future generations. This year, the Archives needs your help, as it plans for a new chapter in its ministry. Synod Council approved designating the offering received during Assembly to the James R. Crumley Jr. Archives. As you plan your budget or designate an offering for Lent, please prayerfully consider a generous offering to ensure that your Lutheran history and heritage is available for decades to come.
We encourage you to save the date for the 2025 South Carolina Synod Assembly, scheduled for June 12-14, 2025. Mark your calendars!
