General Synod

Synod will consider a doctrinal statement on ordination as resolved at the 2024 Regular Convention, along with matters of unfinished business.

A day-long online LCA Convention of General Synod will be held on 18 October 2025.

In the wake of the Synod’s decision to allow the ordination of both men and women in the LCANZ, I believe these words from St Paul hold deep significance for us as a church family.

As we approach the Convention of General Synod in Adelaide, it’s crucial for us to reflect on our journey as a community of faith.

October 4-7: Convention of General Synod 2024

Congregations across the church will be able to access the sermons prepared for Synod Sunday worship at the churchwide gatherings.

The final Synod-specific webinar for delegates will be held on 11 September. All members of the church are invited to watch the recordings of three delegate webinars.

The offering from the upcoming LCANZ Convention of General Synod will go to supporting the Lutheran Study Centre in Indonesia.

Less than three months to go until General Synod! Are you praying for our church – for hope in God’s power to heal and renew us?

The General Church Board has earmarked limited funding to assist in some cases where the parish is unable to cover Synod expenses.
