You can help Lutheran Media to share timely Messages of hope with someone who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues.

While we frequently hear about wars in Ukraine and Gaza, there are terrible conflicts the world seems to have forgotten, including in Myanmar. However, our Lutheran Church is serving on the frontline there through Australian Lutheran World Service.

Supported by the LCANZ’s College of Bishops, Australian Lutheran College has developed a one-off accelerated ministry pathway to prepare candidates aged 40 to 55 for possible ordination as general ministry pastors in 2027.

If you have a heart for serving the church, can be in Adelaide in late September and/or early October this year and don’t already have a role at the LCANZ’s Convention of General Synod, then we need you!

A Congregational Life website designed to support LCANZ congregations and agencies in areas including worship, pastoral care, discipleship and faith teaching, outreach and church planting, and community service is being developed by the church.
