Explore the expanded Congregational Life Hub

The Congregational Life Hub on the LCA website has been expanded and redesigned to make it easier for congregations and their leaders to find faith-filled resources they need to thrive in mission, ministry and congregational life.

Launched in 2024, the hub has undergone significant updates in both content and design, offering a more user-friendly experience and a broader range of materials to support the life and work of congregations across the church.

With the LCANZ Learning Hub closing on 4 November, all its resources have now been migrated to the Congregational Life Hub, making them easier to access without a login. The Learning Hub was previously the LCANZ’s central repository of training and ministry resources.

What’s new:

• Nine key categories: Worship & Faith, Mission, Ministry, Pastoral Care, Governance & Administration, Congregations in Vacancy, Safe Church, Church Workers, and Training
• Learning Hub content migrated: All LCANZ Learning Hub resources are now freely accessible – no LCA email address, access code or password required
• Updated resources: Downloadable guides for church leaders and dedicated pages on topics like workplace health and safety, employment and service matters, and finance
• Mission and ministry highlights: Presence video series and Gospel Fluency series

Here’s what our mission and ministry leaders are saying about the Congregational Life Hub …

‘The new iteration of the Congregational Life Hub brings together exceptional resources for mission support, congregational life and governance, and is a space in which our shared mission is demonstrated in fresh and exciting ways. Designed to help our congregational leaders navigate times of change with clarity, confidence and grace, it offers inspiration and practical ideas for the sake of God’s mission in our communities.’ – Pastor David Schmidt, Assistant Bishop for Mission, Queensland District

‘I’m delighted to be using and recommending our new LCANZ Congregational Life Hub. We are a blessed church to have been provided with such a wealth of practical resources created by gifted people. The hub offers practical training and a multitude of helps for our Christian life of discipleship, as well as resources for congregations and leaders in areas such as worship, pastoral care and vacancy support.’ – Pastor Brett Kennett, District Pastor for Congregational Support, Victorian District, including Tasmania

‘I am very thankful for the work that has been done to create the Congregational Life Hub. Pastoral supply has been an issue for some time in our church, and it has led to greater responsibilities upon our lay leaders. This hub provides an excellent resource for these leaders and the whole church. It promises to be a space that can adapt quickly to addressing the changing needs we face in our communities.’ – Pastor Stephen Schultz, Assistant Bishop for Mission, South Australia – Northern Territory
