Worship is at the heart of the church’s life. It’s here that God serves his people through his word and holy sacraments, and empowers them to participate in his mission of the world.
Commission on Worship
The Commission on Worship serves the church by providing guidance in all aspects of Christian worship to its congregations, schools and agencies.
The Commission also produces material to enrich the worship life of the church, including liturgical resources, service orders, music, drama and visual arts. These are available in printed form, computer CD and through the LCA website. The work of the commission is carried out through departments which have responsibility for specific areas of the church’s worship life.

Church Rites
"Church Rites" has been compiled for the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) by its Commision on Worship. Good rituals grow out of the faith and experience of communities, and are not generally original creations by individuals or committees, accordingly these rites draw on the rich tradition of the various Christian communions, both Lutheran and non-Lutheran. Scriptural in content and form; they express the faith of the church in a pastoral, Christ centred way using inclusive language that is easily understood and contemporary.

Rites and Resources
"Rites and Resources" is the companion volume to Church Rites. Useful for ministry to individuals and small groups outside the church building, these rites offer pastors and lay people Christ centred tools to use to care for people. Included are prayers, rites, Scripture readings, hymns, songs and blessings - as well as guidelines on how to use these.
