Mission & Ministry

We want people to see the love, grace, forgiveness and compassion of Jesus Christ coming to them through every place and person in our church. We produce and curate resources to support individuals and congregations to engage in ministry and mission – in their local communities and beyond.

Caring Ministries

At the heart of Christian living is care and compassion for one another, and not only for those who are our family and friends. Our Lutheran ministry of care is founded on God's love for us, which is the heartbeat of our compassion for others.

LCA International Mission

LCA International Mission works collaboratively with overseas partner churches to bring the life-changing news of Jesus Christ to people in South-east Asia and Papua New Guinea.

New and Renewing Churches

We serve the kingdom of God by supporting church planting and missional renewal. We desire to go as God’s people and form missional communities and congregations across Australia and New Zealand. We know that God’s love comes to life when God’s people grow in his grace and go out into the world with his love.

Pastoral Care

We all have times of difficulty in our lives, and we all know people in our families, friends, communities and in the world who need care and compassion. Pastoral care is about caring for others in the way our Good Shepherd, Jesus, cares for us.
