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.

Today we have Pastor Mark Hampel from Trinity Lutheran Church Chinchilla sharing his thoughts on what he has learned during this time about faith life.
Throughout the month of May we invited people from the LCAQD to share their thoughts on the following question: ‘What is something you are learning during this time about faith life that you want to keep doing after all this has passed?’
We hope that this series has encouraged you and helps you reflect too – what is something you are learning? We would love to hear below!
Calling all Sing Out members!
Were you part of Sing Out 50 years ago?
A reunion, particularly for those involved in the 1970s, is being planned for 5–7 November 2021. Information and updates can be found by joining the Sing Out Reunion Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/48054942702/ or by emailing Geoff Strelan gstrelan@adam.com.au. Spread the word and get in touch!
Sing Out was made up of young people from local Adelaide congregations, Lutheran Teachers College and Luther Seminary and their mission was to share the Gospel Message through song. The picture below appeared on a record the group released in 1979. Look closely and see who you recognise.
