Lutherans for Life

Lutherans for Life (LFL) is a group within the Lutheran Church of Australia joined together by a common desire to promote the sanctity of God’s gift of human life.

We seek to:

educate and equip Lutherans in Australia and NZ with resources that enable them to defend the dignity of every human life, from conception until natural death; and
foster community responsibility for the defence of God's gift of human life, especially those whose life others would categorise as unwanted, lacking quality, worthless or otherwise dispensable

Below, you can find resources pertaining to pre-birth, life, and end-of-life issues. We have also pregnancy support resources, bible study and group discussion resources, public statements, worship and pastoral care resources, books for sale, and more.

Pregnant? Need support? We're here to help.

YES, I WOULD LIKE SUPPORT
