Grace and peace to you!

Have you ever wondered whether God might be calling you, or someone in your faith community, to something more? Perhaps further theological study, a particular area of ministry or mission, or simply an opportunity to explore where God might be leading?

The Lutheran Church of Australia Queensland District, in partnership with Australian Lutheran College (ALC), is excited to introduce Called to Explore: Discovery Day — a new initiative designed to provide a welcoming and relaxed opportunity for people to explore faith, theology, ministry, mission and vocation.

Our first Discovery Day will be held on:

Monday 30 November 2026
9:30am – 1:00pm (with optional conversations afterwards)
Nazareth Lutheran Church Hall
12 Hawthorne Street, Woolloongabba

The morning will include opportunities for learning, conversation, asking questions and exploring possibilities, followed by a shared lunch generously provided by ALC, where prospective participants can connect with current ALC students from across Queensland.

Importantly, this day is for people of all ages and stages of life. Whether someone is just beginning to wonder about their calling, has been considering theological study for some time, or simply wants to explore what might be possible, they are warmly invited.

Registration is FREE!

To register, please contact Bronagh Quinn, EA to the Bishop (LCAQD), via:

Could I please ask you to help us spread the word?

  • Include the attached flyer in your congregation's bulletin, newsletter or other communications.
  • Personally invite anyone in your faith community who has expressed an interest in further theological study, ministry or mission.
  • Prayerfully consider whether there is someone whose gifts, interests or sense of calling you might encourage through a personal conversation and invitation.

We hope this will become a regular opportunity within the Queensland District to encourage people in their discernment and help them discover where God might be leading them.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple invitation or a word of encouragement from someone else to begin exploring something new.

Thank you for helping us open doors and encourage people in their faith and vocation.

Every blessing,

Rev. Ben Hentschke
First Assistant Bishop
