Church Worker Support
How we serve
We are developing policies and procedures, in consultation with church entities, to establish good service management practices. We can help parishes and congregations contextualise these in their unique mission and ministry settings. We can best support parishes and congregations by visiting and getting to know them. It is wonderful to support and encourage them to continue the practices that are working well. As we serve your church, we can provide resources, and we are happy to work together with you to develop other resources that will enable church workers to grow and go as God’s people. We are adding to these resources all the time, so please ask us how we can help you.
Access the latest calls information from around the LCANZ via our dedicated page, which we update regularly, and keep up to date with the latest employment and volunteering opportunities from around the church. Check back in regularly, as job and volunteer listings are updated often.
The LCA Churchwide Office offers employees access to a wellness support program (Empatia). Empatia provides short-term, solutions-oriented counselling and coaching, designed to support you in meeting the challenges and demands of your work and personal life.
It’s tough keeping up to date with everything changing so rapidly right now. We’ve curated a small collection of resources that might be helpful as you navigate your way through caring for yourself and others.
The LCA expects that all church workers have access to development and training activities that support the development of appropriate skills, knowledge and experience to enable and equip our people to effectively and safely fulfil their roles.
A congregational ministry review is an opportunity for every congregation to ask, ‘How are we going?’ It can be a time to celebrate what has been achieved in the previous year and identify and understand what can be worked on in the year ahead.
All the work that we do in the church, whether paid work or volunteer, is done to serve our Lord. However, as good stewards of our resources, we need to ensure that our church workers are properly supported and cared for.
You matter to God, and you matter to us. The LCA Payroll team wants to ensure you’re supported both personally and professionally. Our team works hard to free you from excess paperwork so you can get on with the work God has called you to do.
You can use your LCA email address to log into the LCA Portal. Inside the portal, you can access a wide range of online services and resources, including LAMP2, Payroll and Church Worker Support resources and forms.
