About Us

  • The Lutheran Church dates back to the reformation in the sixteenth century when Martin Luther challenged some of the teachings and practices of the church of his day. Luther insisted that the Bible is the authority that decides what the church should teach and do.
  • The Lutheran church is one of the world’s major Christian churches, with 70 million members worldwide.
  • In Australia and New Zealand, almost 250,000 people call themselves Lutherans. There are 648 congregations, 298 parishes, 533 pastors (including those who have retired) and 92 layworkers.
  • The name ‘Lutheran’ was given to people who believed that Martin Luther was right in his interpretation of the Bible.
  • In Australia, more than 600 congregations join together as the Lutheran Church of Australia.
  • The Victoria/Tasmania District is a Synod made up of pastors and delegates from 70+ congregations who meet in convention every two years.
