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.
The Standing Committee on Nominations, on behalf of the Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) Board, is inviting nominations from people with
- a deep commitment to the mission and values of the Lutheran Church of Australia ('church')
- a passion for social justice and international service, and
- 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 (www.alws.org.au).
A revised constitution recently adopted by the General Church Board increases the number of board members to seven. Combined with the current ordained pastor’s term of office coming to an end, this has resulted in the following vacancies:
- an ordained pastor serving in a congregation of the church
- two lay members with knowledge and skills in one or more of the following: governance, change management, strategic marketing and fundraising, financial governance and planning and/or international aid and development.
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, Pastor Peter Hage peter.hage@lca.org.au 0466 303999, for further information and/or please complete the nomination form found here and send to nominations@lca.org.au
Nominations close Friday 28 February 2020.
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.
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
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!
