Our People

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.”

— Acts 2:42-47

Lutheran Mission - Australia is blessed with many faithful, wonderful members of all generations, and our number is growing all the time.

We have an increasing number of pastors who have completed colloquy and are already serving our people in various ways. We are thankful for their commitment, especially the retired pastors who continue to serve tirelessly for the sake of the gospel. You can see our current College of Pastors member below.

Our church is led by the Committee of Management, both lay and ordained. Their photos and names can be found at the bottom of this page.
