LCA GENERAL CONVENTION OF SYNOD

ROSEHILL GARDENS, JAMES RUSE DRIVE, ROSEHILL NSW 2142
2–7 OCTOBER 2018

No matter who you are or where you worship, the decisions made at General Convention will affect you. They’ll affect all of us, and our children and our grandchildren.

Therefore, even if you did not attend as a delegate or visitor, we warmly invite you to participate in the post-Convention experience. It’s also important that you pray, as brothers and sisters together, as we implement the decisions made at Convention in the life of the Lutheran Church of Australia. So come inside and join General Synod’s journey in the faith freedom and future we have in Jesus Christ.
