We're part of a bigger church family, the Lutheran Church of Australia. Together we want to be a place where love comes to life. We believe that God's love is for everyone, everywhere, and we want you to see how his love comes to life in us – and in you.

WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT UPDATE: A Lutheran couple from Queensland are matching all donations to the ALWS Christmas Action Appeal, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000!
The Lutheran Church aims to provide 4,816 families, who are victims of floods in South Sudan, with food, replant crops, build toilets, shelter for the homeless, clean water and help children back to school.
This is a crucial moment to help, as South Sudan has been plagued with devastating events over the last two years.
All in all, about 800,000 people have been forced from their homes by the flood.
Crops and stored food have been destroyed. There is also the danger of diseases in dirty water, locust plagues and ongoing conflict and insecurity. Approximately 7.3 million people face hunger, and 483,000 women and 1.4 million children are malnourished and the population has a low COVID-19 vaccination rate, meaning high danger.
Your help goes far with ALWS, and what you choose to donate today is doubled. If you can help the people of South Sudan recover their lives and livelihoods, please donate at www.alws.org.au/christmas-action-double-your-help-for-south-sudan or call 1300 763 407.
Thank you for any and all assistance you can give to the people of South Sudan!
