The business of the synod is conducted by the synod council throughout the year. Yearly, in accordance with the ELCA constitution, the synod meets together with all rostered leaders (clergy, associates in ministry, deacons, deaconesses, and diaconal ministers) as well as up to two representatives from each congregation (more for larger congregations) for the Synod Assembly. The assembly alternates among three cities: Lexington, Kentucky; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Indianapolis.
