About Local Mission
Local Mission in the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) is about ‘growing as God’s people’ and ‘going as God’s people’ – the first two strategic priorities in the LCA Our Direction 2018–2024 document.
How we serve
Local Mission provides leadership and support to nurture a growing missional culture in the Lutheran Church of Australia and New Zealand. We promote, resource and coordinate participation in God’s mission of bringing the good news of Jesus Christ to all people. We assist individuals, families and communities to lead people to Christ and to grow people in Christ.
Local Mission supports you to reach out to people who don’t yet know God’s love and to support those who do, through the following ministries:
- Care Ministries (incorporating the Ageing)
- Cross-Cultural Ministry
- Grow Ministries (Child, Youth & Family Ministry)
- Lutheran Media
- New & Renewing Churches.
Yes, I want to support young people as they heed God’s call on their life and grow in faith and leadership!
Your donation supports young adults like Joel, whom God is calling to serve as pastors and other vocations in the LCANZ. Your donation helps young adults like Elsa discover a whole world of opportunities to serve in God's kingdom. There are many young people like Joel and Elsa in our church who are passionate about Jesus and eager to serve him. We only need to encourage them to be involved and open up ways for them to use their gifts. Help LCANZ Local Mission raise $50,000 so Grow Leadership can continue to develop future leaders.
