It is one of the 65 synods of the ELCA in North America.
The ELCA is divided into larger geographical units, called Regions. The New England Synod sits within Region 7, that of the Northeastern United States.
The synod has its offices in Worcester, Massachusetts at 20 Upland Street.

“I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game’s afoot!
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry, “God for Harry! England and Saint George!””
