In its work, the VELKD focuses on theological and liturgical issues, congregational development and coaching, spiritual welfare and pastoral training, ecumenical relations with other churches and interreligious dialogue. It works in close collaboration with the German National Committee of the Lutheran World Federation (GNC/LWF). The presiding bishop of VELKD since November 2011 is Gerhard Ulrich (Northern Germany).
