Events & Training

by Joanne Chamberlain

Earlier this month, Lutheran Media supporters and current and former staff joined the St Michael’s Lutheran Church congregation at Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills for a special anniversary celebration worship service. The service was the final event marking 80 years of Lutheran media ministry.

As Lutheran Media continues to celebrate 80 years in Australia and New Zealand, it has launched a history webpage dedicated to honouring the hardworking and inspiring individuals who have contributed to its success.

Faith, fellowship and fun: these are the key components of LCANZ camping ministries that continue to connect young Christians to Christ and one another. Tens of thousands of young people have encountered the love of Jesus at camps run by Lutheran youth organisations over many decades.

When College Pastor Reid Matthias signed up for the Australian Conference for Lutheran Education, he was impressed by the guest speakers’ list and the regular worship schedule. But he was most excited to reconnect with people sharing a common faith, purpose and hope.

Six hundred Lutheran school leaders, principals and teachers met under the theme of ‘Free to flourish’ for the Australian Conference on Lutheran Education at the Brisbane Convention Centre earlier this month.

Participants from across the LCANZ have shared positive feedback about the live online Safe Church training format, highlighting how the delivery model makes the training more accessible and flexible. Many have also enjoyed completing the training together in group settings.
