Does your congregation have a project that would benefit from the support of an LLL Mission Outreach Grant?
LLL is actively looking for ways to help advance gospel-centred mission and ministry in local communities through its Mission Outreach Grant program.
Thanks to missionally-minded investors and borrowers, LLL Mission Outreach Grants have provided more than $1 million in funding for more than 65 projects since 2010.
LLL continues to offer $125,000 annually ($25,000 per church district) and has been honoured to witness many inspiring projects come to fruition.
In the past two years, the congregation at St Michael’s in Hahndorf SA upgraded its sermon livestreaming capabilities, three congregations in Canberra installed digital signage, and Wodonga Lutheran Parish hired a ministry coordinator with the aid of an LLL Mission Outreach Grant.
The most recent Mission Outreach Grant awarded will support Western Australia’s Everhope Church to continue its inspiring journey of growth.
Everhope, a church plant of Rockingham Mandurah Lutheran Church, has enjoyed significant growth in its congregation numbers since its public launch in 2022.
LLL CEO Ross Smith was on hand at WA Synod in March to congratulate Everhope’s Pastor Matt Schubert and award a $25,000 grant that will support the church as it continues to establish itself in the bustling coastal area to the south of Perth.
‘We required a larger space to worship in on a Sunday, but the additional hire costs made us nervous,’ Pastor Matt said.
‘But praise God for the ministry of LLL. This burden has been taken off our shoulders, and we can continue to serve the great people of Secret Harbour and surrounds.
‘A massive shout out to all supporters who invest or borrow money with LLL for making this possible.’
For more examples of projects LLL has been able to support through its missional partnership that may provide inspiration, visit the LLL Mission Outreach Grants webpage.
So, if your congregation has an idea for a project, we’d love to hear it, with applications in the first instance available from your local LCA District Office.
Read about other difference-making Mission Outreach Grants, sponsorships and transformative projects that your investment with LLL supports via LLL’s website information hub, Mission Matters, as well as Together in Mission.
The Australian Lutheran College (ALC) library will have a new home at 22 Pulteney Street, Adelaide.
The announcement comes after months of searching for new premises by ALC and the LCANZ’s Churchwide Office. Both entities will relocate to the new LCANZ Church House at 139 Frome Street, Adelaide, this year. However, that building, like most in the Adelaide CBD, is not constructed to carry the weight of large library collections.
The search, which ALC Principal Tim Stringer said had been ‘a challenging process,’ included Matt Brew-Bevan (LCA Senior Property Adviser) reviewing approximately 30 properties based on the college’s criteria for the new library location, and undertaking approximately 20 test-fit assessments.
The process of moving from the current North Adelaide location has begun, with settlement on the existing ALC property scheduled for 30 June 2025. ‘The new location promises to offer quality facilities, ensuring that the library continues to serve the community effectively,’ Dr Stringer said. He said the prominent position in Adelaide would provide continued access to the library for students and professionals and provide potential for greater community engagement.
As part of a farewell to the ALC’s North Adelaide site, Australian Lutheran World Service (ALWS) and the college will co-host a Walk My Way event on 3 May on the ALC grounds. Walk My Way is a community event designed to raise awareness and funds to support children affected by war and poverty. The 3 May event will also offer a unique opportunity for participants to walk through the ALC campus and bid farewell to a site that has served the Lutheran community for a century.
‘This event not only supports the work of ALWS but provides an opportunity for those who have been connected with the campus over the past century to visit, reminisce and say their farewells,’ Dr Stringer said.
