Lutheran Church in Queensland - LCANZ
During last weekend's Convention of the Synod, LCAQD Bishop Mark Vainikka officially launched the 2026-31 Strategic Charter, which focuses on five doors: 🚪Open Door to Spiritual Renewal: Strengthening lives of faith through prayer, baptism, and Holy Communion;🚪Open Door to the World: Living out an incarnational faith, joining God’s mission beyond our Church walls;🚪Open Door to the Church: Ensuring our communities remain welcoming places of grace and belonging;🚪Open Door to Collaboration: Partnering across local, national, and international ministries for greater impact;🚪Open Door to the Future: Building sustainable foundations for ministry to the next generations.The Charter is not meant to be a detailed strategic plan, but a shared mission compass for the communities of grace that make up the LCAQD, including congregations, schools, ministries and members of the entire church. During the Convention, Assistant Bishop for Mission David Schmidt, supported by Bishop Mark and First Assistant Bishop Ben Hentschke, ran a two-part workshop for delegates to discuss key parts of the Strategic Charter and encouraged them to share it with their communities.

Lutheran Church in Queensland - LCANZ
The Synod Sunday morning worship with Holy Communion was graciously hosted by St Andrews Lutheran Church Tallebudgera. In his sermon, LCAQD Bishop Mark Vainikka reminded us that, despite uncertainty about its future and changing cultural circumstances, the church’s hope does not rest in human plans, strategies, or achievements, but in God’s mercy and action. Drawing on Titus 3:4–7, Bishop Mark emphasised that God saves, renews, and sustains his people through the Holy Spirit, not because of anything they have done, but through grace. Synod is therefore not merely a place for decision-making, but a gathering where God’s people seek to discern and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, just as the early Church did at the Council of Jerusalem. What a joy it has been to join with St Andrews Lutheran College and St Andrews Lutheran Church as we listen to the Spirit and discern what God is calling us to do as His church. We thank you St Andrews for the generous spirit of hospitality you have displayed towards staff, delegates and visitors, and we are in awe of your amazingly gifted cohort of students who provided the musical backdrop to our worship and mealtimes. They are a credit to you!Synod delegates, we look forward to seeing you again next year in the Greater Brisbane area, 4-6 June 2027.Please enjoy these photos from Synod Sunday. 📷Images shared with permission.#lcaqdsynod2026 ...
