The 68th Biennial Convention of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod will be held July 21–24, 2025, at Martin Luther College (MLC), New Ulm, Minn. About 400 voting delegates from around the country will attend the convention.
The theme of the 2025 synod convention is “Christ through us.” This theme highlights both God’s blessings to the synod as it celebrates its 175th anniversary in 2025 as well as God’s continued work through WELS in years to come. A new strategic plan that establishes synodical, congregational, and individual objectives and strategies will be introduced at the convention.

Opening Worship – Monday, July 21 at 6:30 p.m.
The 2025 synod convention appropriately begins with worship. May the Lord bless us as we praise his name and proclaim his gospel to one another, gaining strength as Christ works in us through Word and sacrament that Christ may continue to work through us in the world.
The primary source of the convention’s business is the Book of Reports and Memorials (BORAM), which contains various departmental reports as well as formal petitions to the synod convention called “memorials.”
