Information Technology

About us

Information Technology (IT) is a division of the Finance & Administration Department.

We are committed to developing systems and processes to support rapid, reliable and effective sharing of information across our church. Wherever you are in Australia or New Zealand, we want you to have access to the wide range of Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) resources in order to support your own local mission and ministry. Increasingly we are also providing IT advice and support for congregations.

For more information on our services, visit Information Technology Services.
