Church Online
Caring for each other and our world
LLL Mission Grants
Connecting & caring for the vulnerable
Discover the heart of who we are.
LCAQD has produced six short videos to explain five 'big rocks' of Lutheran teaching:
1. God is revealed as gracious and merciful
2. We are beloved and unique creatures of a loving creator
3. We sin against God and against each other
4. We are made to be with and for each other in relationships
5. God's ways are justice, mercy and peace
The video to the right provides an overview, and the button below leads to all six videos.

As Pastors and congregational ministries ventured into the world of 'filming' to share messages and worship services online, we know that this involved multiple 'takes'. Together we learned that it is okay if things are a bit messy!
Arise Lutheran Church, Springfield, has submitted their blooper cuts to share some joy and humour. Enjoy!
