Thanks were offered to everyone who helped make the 2025 Convention of Synod a success, including our wonderful volunteers.  

On Synod Saturday morning, Bishop Mark Vainikka reflected on his written report, and spoke of the District’s guiding principle: One Church, One Purpose, Many Ministries. 

Following the Friday morning opening Synod worship, the following leaders from Qld and FNQ greeted the convention.

St Andrews Lutheran Church, Brisbane, will receive $25,000 from LLL for its ‘Diverse by Design’ outreach to multcultural communities.

This year’s Synod focuses on our strategic charter, and at its heart are five open doors; doors Christ has already unlocked for us.

Four new pastors were welcomed to the LCA Queensland District at the closing of the Friday afternoon Synod session.

This year’s Synod will be held at Peace Lutheran College, 50-60 Cowley St, Kamerunga, Cairns,  Friday 30 May-Sunday 1 June 2025.
