Congregation Leaders

Thank you to those who serve as statisticians for your congregation or parish. Please remember to enter the statistics for 2024 into LAMP2 by the end of February. If you need assistance, please contact your district office.

The LCANZ has been restructuring the way it delivers Safe Church training, responds to Professional Standards inquiries and handles complaints.

Have you visited the Child Safety Standards Resources page recently? Many resources are available to assist congregations in implementing the Child Safety Standards – many of which are new and may be of interest to you.

Many congregations and parishes hold their annual general meetings around this time of year, so it’s a common time for changes to committee and council leadership. If your church community has recently had a change to its office-bearers, please ensure that the details are up to date in LAMP2.

At the recent Convention of General Synod, the LCANZ launched its new Congregational Life web hub – to bring together all the kinds of resources that congregations need in one, easy-to-access place.
