Why do we have to implement the LCA Child Safety Standards for Congregations?
- When we care for children and keep them safe, we are following Christ’s mandate.
- We have a synodical responsibility to protect and care for our children. We also have multiple legal responsibilities relating to child safety.
- And finally, we have important regulatory responsibilities in relation to compliance with the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations.

Open their hearts and minds to receive Jesus and help our congregations to get beside them to love, support and pray for them.

REG is the answer
- REG is a convenient, safe and confidential way of giving a regular offering to your congregation.
- Your REG offering can come from your bank, credit union or specific LLL facility.
- You can set up REG to coincide with your regular income (eg salary, pension, dividends) or budget: weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or even half-yearly.
- REG keeps things confidential. Your congregation doesn't receive any information regarding your identity or the amount of your offering.
How REG benefits you
- No need to remember to bring cash to church.
- If you are away from church, your offering is still made.
- You can apply 'first fruits' principles.
How REG benefits your congregation
- It provides a regular income or cash flow, making budgeting easier.
- It can increase giving through the convenience of direct debits.
- It is safer because there is less cash to handle and bank each week.
You can also use REG to support your favourite churchwide or district mission or ministry project.
