File:Map of ELCA regions.svg
A map of the nine ELCA regions. Note that the Slovak Zion Synod falls under Region 7 and the Bahamas and the Caribbean under Region 9.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) consists of 65 synods which are configured into nine regional offices. Each of the synods of the ELCA elects one bishop and three synod council officers (vice president, secretary, and treasurer) at its Synod Assembly to oversee the spiritual and organizational activities of its member congregations and elect representatives to the ELCA's churchwide assembly.[1][2]
