If you have personally experienced or been witness to any abuse or misconduct by ELCA Clergy, please notify the Synod Office (office@lacrosseareasynod.org or 608-788-5000) and ask for an appointment with the Bishop.

We strive to respond to these situations as quickly as possible, offering care and support to victims and holding clergy accountable.
