The synod comprises congregations and ministries in the province of Saskatchewan and four congregations located in western Manitoba.[1] There are 115 congregations comprising about 26,000 baptized members and 3 ministries.[1]
Their office is located at #6 – 2220 Northridge Drive in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[2] As of June 2024, Rev. Dr. Ali Tote is serving as the bishop.[3]
