Pulpit supply

Congregations seeking ‘pulpit supply’ normally secure pulpit supply from the Synod’s Pulpit supply list or appoint from within their membership individuals who serve as Congregational worship leaders. Due to increasing need for pulpit supply and growing travel expenses synod council has approved expansion of the synod pulpit supply list to also include clergy or lay worship leaders who have met synod guidelines and have been approved by the bishop.

Worship leaders wishing to be included on this Pulpit supply list, refer to the Sask Synod pulpit supply policy for process details.

Sacraments are provided only by ELCIC or ACC rostered pastors, or as provided in the Synod pulpit supply policy by temporary license through the Sask synod bishop.

Compensation guidelines for pulpit supply are reviewed annually. Please note that the CRA is now in 2026 recommending a rate of $0.73/kilometer for the first 5000 km.
