About us
LWA is the national body of the women who make up five districts. The districts are New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia/Northern Territory, Victoria/Tasmania and Western Australia.
The districts in turn are made up of the women’s groups from the local congregations or parishes within each district, and individual members.
Conventions
Each district meets annually in Convention, except Queensland which meets biennially.
The LWA (or National) Convention is held in conjunction with, and just prior to, the General Convention of the Lutheran Church of Australia. This is usually a triennial event.
Service
LWA members are encouraged to put their faith into action by supporting various service projects on a local, district and national level.
