Events & Training

A fixture in many homes and churches across the LCANZ, the ‘Lutheran Hymnal’ turns 50 this year.

What does it mean to form faith in children and youth? What seems to work best and why? Is your congregation looking to rethink your ministry to children and youth?

This year’s Local Mission appeal focuses on developing our young adults in faith and leadership. Your donation will help us find and support the young adults in our midst, like Elsa and Joel, whom God is calling into service in the church.

Each year, the Local Mission department of the LCANZ facilitates a Season of Prayer, inviting and calling on congregations of the LCANZ to pray. This year, the Season of Prayer is scheduled for 10 to 24 September 2023, and the theme is ‘Lord, renew your church’.

Offered by Local Mission, a Gospel Fluency Workshop is designed to help prepare and equip you and give you a vocabulary, context, and some actual practice in sharing the good news in words and actions with those around you.

ALC’s Diploma in Ministry is an exciting new opportunity to learn more about Christian ministry and reflect on how we can participate in the call in Matthew 26 to go into the world.
