Education
Christian denominations each have their emphases as we seek to do God's work in our world. Lutherans value education and mentoring of the next generation, so we invest a lot in the following services:
Early Childhood
With a mission of 'living and teaching God's word within the community', Queensland Lutheran Early Childhood Services (QLECS) administers 57 early childhood and school-aged services across Queensland and northern New South Wales. (To contact QLECS while their website is under development: phone 07 3511 4079)
Schools
Lutheran Education Queensland (LEQ) offers an inspired, Christian educational experience that sets their students apart – as creators, collaborators, and innovators.
Lutheran Schools and colleges are locally managed and operate in partnership with congregations.
Lutheran Youth of Queensland
Lutheran Youth of Queensland (LYQ) has a vision to see young people and families 'Alive in Christ; Passionate in Service.' You'll see LYQ having lifelong impact in:
- holiday camps
