Worship & Growing Faith

Twenty-two women discerning a call to ministry, training for pastoral ministry or serving in pastoral ministry gathered at Luther Heights Youth Camp on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast from 2 to 4 September for the 2026 Gathering of Women in Pastoral Ministry.

You are invited to join God’s mission by praying for – and with – our mission partners during Pentecost, using LCA International Mission’s 2026 ‘Pentecost Devotional and Prayer Guide’. This guide features devotions written by LCA International Mission partners from around the world.

The LCANZ Season of Creation (1 September and 4 October) resources for 2026 are available now on the Worship Planning Page, and congregations are encouraged to begin this season of prayer and action for the environment with a special service.

Pastors, lay workers and congregational leaders from the LCA’s NSW and ACT District last month gathered for three days of worship, learning and encouragement in ministry at the District’s Mission and Ministry Conference.

Every morning, LCA Daily Devotions appear in the inboxes of subscribers and on LCANZ Facebook and Instagram feeds across the church. From humble beginnings, LCA Daily Devotions have now been delivered more than 6.2 million times.
