Calls - Employment - Volunteering

Applications are open for ARISE – the Warrambui Volunteer Internship Program for 2025!

ARISE is a program designed for young adults aged 18 to 25 that focuses on building a faith foundation grown by living and serving in a cross-cultural Christian community.

Interns experience practical ministry, undertake ministry and theology study and learn to serve Jesus and each other while helping us host school, youth, church and community groups at our Lutheran Retreat and Conference Centre.

While volunteering, interns will build their character, further discover their identity in Christ and explore questions of faith in a supportive Christian environment, giving them a solid foundation for whatever lies ahead.

Australian/New Zealand interns will also live and serve alongside interns from Papua New Guinea, growing in understanding of each other’s country, culture and faith.

So, if you are (or know) someone who may be interested and want to know more, please contact Warrambui for an information pack. Applications close 17 November 2024.

OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE CHURCH

The LCA’s Judicial System has been established by the bylaws of the church to consider matters which are submitted to it for a determination as laid out in Article 10 of the constitution. These matters primarily concern ecclesiastical discipline, interpretation of LCA documents and disputes within the LCA. The General Church Board appoints a Tribunal Administrator and a Deputy Tribunal Administrator to manage the system.

The LCA is inviting nominations from people who may be interested in serving as the Deputy Tribunal Administrator. We are looking for people with a good understanding of the church, who have knowledge, skills and experience in specific areas such as complaints handling, dispute resolution and the law.

We believe that God has blessed our church with many talented people who have the ability to make an effective contribution to the life and work of the LCA. This may be an opportunity for you to serve or for you to encourage someone you know who has the required skills and knowledge mix to nominate.

If you wish to be considered for this voluntary position, please complete a nomination form here and forward it to nominations@lca.org.au.

If you want to learn more about the role before formally submitting your name for consideration, please contact the Tribunal Administrator, Peter Gerhardy, at peter.gerhardy@lca.org.au or phone 0456 425 957.
