Districts

The Districts of the LCA have the same priorities as the national church: to 'grow as God's people' and to 'go as God's people'. These priorities are applied locally within their regional contexts.

  • LCA NSW and ACT
  • LCA Qld
  • LCA SA–NT
  • LCA Vic–Tas
  • LCA WA
  • Lutheran Church of New Zealand

Departments and Agencies

The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) has two priorities: to 'grow as God's people' and to 'go as God's people' (spelt out in our Strategic Direction). In other words, as a community we want to grow in our faith and trust in God and to share his love with everyone who needs it. To help us do that, we have organised ourselves into the following departments, agencies, commissions and auxiliaries. (See also Our Structure.)
