DISCIPLESHIP

Our Synod’s Discipleship Team strives to support mission-critical ministries, especially during 2020 despite the many challenges we faced. Our new ministry starts and explorations remain a strong priority for our Synod now and into the future. We are committed to our LEAD Congregations, and pursue new and creative approaches to re-development and revitalization efforts between and among congregations across Delaware and Maryland. Our youth and family ministries pivoted to deliver content and experiences online and we look forward to opportunities for youth to gather in-person once it is safe to do so. Finally, we are pleased to extend our DE-MD Synod Reads Together Facebook group beyond its intended end date of May 2020 as we also continue to think creatively about how to use technology to encourage discipleship practices. We are grateful to God for the support of so many faithful leaders across our Synod who inspire us to greater service for the sake of the Gospel.
