Volunteering opportunities
If you are considering nomination for membership on an LCANZ board, council, commission or committee, or wish to nominate someone for a position, you will need to complete this Nomination Form. Announcements about volunteer positions on LCA bodies are advertised through LCA eNews and, in some cases, The Lutheran. The details of the current vacancies are available below.
Pastoral vacancy on the Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) Board of Directors
The Standing Committee on Nominations, on behalf of the ALWS Board, is inviting nominations from people with:
- a deep commitment to the mission and values of the LCA
- a passion for social justice and international service
- relevant qualifications, experience and the time to commit to this governance role.
ALWS serves as the overseas humanitarian aid and development agency of the church, translating the spirit of Christian love and faith of the church into effective services with and for those most in need.
We are seeking an ordained pastor to fill a casual vacancy for the remainder of the synodical term.
ALWS seeks board membership from a cross-section of the districts of the church and encourages nominations from people with a diverse range of perspectives. Experience living and working overseas in humanitarian assistance or community development is desirable.
If you are interested in serving on this board, or if you know of someone who might be interested, contact the chair of the ALWS Board, Ms Jodie Hoff, at principal@lords.qld.edu.au or 07 5540 8888.
The nomination form can be found here, and once complete, sent to nominations@lca.org.au
Friends of Lutheran Archives, North Adelaide SA
Friends of Lutheran Archives (FoLA) meets nine times per year to tell the stories of God at work in our Lutheran Church. We are looking for a small team of people – to work in pairs – who could operate the live streaming equipment on a voluntary and rotation basis.
Meetings are held on Thursday evenings at Immanuel Lutheran Church, North Adelaide, for the months of February to October.
Full training will be provided.
Please contact Helen Schubert on 0447 740 711 or email FOLA@lca.org.au.
Lutheran Archives, Bowden SA
Where did Noah keep the bees? IN THE ARK-HIVE!
Lutheran Archives is launching a new volunteer program – the Busy Bee program! The program will consist of three weekly sessions to work collaboratively on a given set of materials – working bee style!
We are now seeking volunteers for our two first Busy Bee programs, in May and June. The details:
May working bee: listing vinyl and shellac records
Dates: Wednesday 11, 18 and 25 May
Times: 1.00pm to 3.30pm with afternoon tea provided
Venue: Lutheran Archives Reading Room, 27 Fourth St, Bowden
June working bee: listing and describing historical biographical material
Dates: Wednesday 8, 15 and 22 June
Times: 1.00pm to 3.30pm with afternoon tea provided
Venue: Lutheran Archives Reading Room, 27 Fourth St, Bowden
Both series of working bees require participants to have basic computer skills (word processing/typing) and a commitment to at least two of the three sessions. If you have a laptop, we would love it if you could bring it along, but if you can’t, you can still take part.
There is free off-street parking available at the archives. We also ask that all volunteers be double- or triple-vaccinated.
Please register your attendance by phoning Angela on 8340 4009 or emailing lutheran.archives@lca.org.au. Places are limited.
There will be more Busy Bee programs running throughout 2022, so if you can’t make the May or June sessions, keep your eye out for more.
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CHURCH
The LCA’s Judicial System has been established by the bylaws of the church to consider matters which are submitted to it for a determination as laid out in Article 10 of the constitution. These matters primarily concern ecclesiastical discipline, interpretation of LCA documents and disputes within the LCA. The General Church Board appoints a Tribunal Administrator and a Deputy Tribunal Administrator to manage the system.
The LCA is inviting nominations from people who may be interested in serving as the Deputy Tribunal Administrator. We are looking for people with a good understanding of the church, who have knowledge, skills and experience in specific areas such as complaints handling, dispute resolution and the law.
We believe that God has blessed our church with many talented people who have the ability to make an effective contribution to the life and work of the LCA. This may be an opportunity for you to serve or for you to encourage someone you know who has the required skills and knowledge mix to nominate.
If you wish to be considered for this voluntary position, please complete a nomination form here and forward it to nominations@lca.org.au.
If you want to learn more about the role before formally submitting your name for consideration, please contact the Tribunal Administrator, Peter Gerhardy, at peter.gerhardy@lca.org.au or phone 0456 425 957.
LCA International Mission is always seeking volunteers for work with our overseas partner churches. There are all sorts of opportunities for people with all sorts of skills. Take a look at the LCA International Mission website for videos and stories about short-term and long-term volunteering opportunities in Southeast Asia.
Are you a professional or serious amateur photographer? Do you want to use your photography gifts and skills to serve God and his church? LCA Communications is developing a talent bank of photographers to cover events, and to create a stock library of excellent photos for all of us to use copyright-free.
Interested? Email or FTP to Linda Macqueen, LCA Communications (linda.macqueen@lca.org.au) no more than six original photos that demonstrate your ability and photographic interests. Ideally, you'll send some photos that could form part of our stock library, eg people at worship or prayer, church gatherings or functions, sacraments, people portraits. Low resolution is okay, even desirable, provided you understand that we will ultimately need high-resolution images for our print applications. We do ask you not to photograph children without their parent's or guardian's permission. Please also provide your contact details.
If selected to join our volunteer photographic team, you'll need to sign a release form that gives us permission to use your images; you can retain the copyright though. I'm looking forward to seeing the excellent images coming my way!
