Volunteering opportunities

If you are considering nomination for membership on an LCA/NZ 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.

EXTRAS FOR LCA FILM PROJECT Expand

We need people (young, old and in-between) to volunteer as extras in an exciting new LCA film project introducing the essentials of Lutheran faith and practice. Email the project officer David Modra if you would like to be involved.

DIGITISING HISTORICAL PHOTOGRAPHS Expand

Lutheran Archives, Bowden SA

Lutheran Archives (at Bowden SA) is inviting expressions of interest from people who would like to assist with:

  • Scanning historical photographs
  • Indexing historical church registers and papers

Both collections capture a rich and diverse part of the history of our church, which we are hoping to make increasingly easier to search and access online.

The volunteering opportunities are available for 1–2 days per week on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays (or parts thereof, at your choice).

We are looking for people who are interested in the history of our church and who are comfortable with using computers, including learning scanning software and databases where applicable. Having some knowledge of German is useful, but not essential. All training and ongoing assistance are provided.

If you are interested in volunteering for one of these projects, or have any questions, please email Adam Kauschke (Archivist, Lutheran Archives) at Lutheran.Archives@lca.org.au

OVERSEAS MISSION Expand

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.

PHOTOGRAPHERS Expand

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!
