The Evangelical Synod of North America (ESNA), before 1927 German Evangelical Synod of North America (German: (Deutsche) Evangelische Synode von Nord-Amerika), was a Protestant Christian denomination in the United States existing from the mid-19th century until its 1934 merger with the Reformed Church in the United States to form the Evangelical and Reformed Church. This church merged with the Congregational Christian Churches in 1957 to create the United Church of Christ.
