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.
