Janet Schoell is the treasurer for Lutherans for Life. She has worked in finance and administration for over 20 years. She is married and has one daughter. Her passion for life issues has grown out of her involvement with LFL, and she is committed to sharing information about life issues with the wider community.

Hayley Simons is a lifelong Lutheran working in the construction industry and living in country Victoria. She is passionate about all things life, especially when it comes to encouraging our younger generation to stand up for these issues. Watching as this becomes increasingly harder to do, she believes with faith, we can bring about change. Change that will help and support and glorify God, our loving giver of life.

Elizabeth (Beth) Matuschka is the minute secretary of Lutherans for Life. Beth is a nurse and midwife with a heart for giving care with dignity and love for people at the beginning and the end of life. She currently lives in rural Victoria, where she works locally as a nurse in aged care, as well as travelling to continue her passion for midwifery. Beth is also actively involved in the local community, including the Lutheran church where her husband Lucas is the pastor.
