Professional development opportunity for pastors and church workers

The Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) views professional development as an essential, ongoing part of a pastor's and church worker's vocation. In fact, the LCA expects pastors in particular, to include 40 hours of continuing education activities in their annual calendars. 

ALC has a number of professional development opportunities on offer in July, which pastors and church workers are welcome to attend, alongside of enrolled students. This onsite training will be held at Church House in Adelaide.

Dr Tania Nelson will deliver an ‘Introduction to Christian Mission’ from 15-18 July. Tania has undertaken studies in education and in theology/ministry and her doctoral research centred on mission - a subject she has pursued with keen interest for many years. She is currently serving as the Ministry Lead at Mawson Lakes Community Church and was the former manager of Lutheran Media - an outreach ministry of the Lutheran Church of Australia.

Professor Albert Haddad will deliver a ‘Coaching and Mentoring’ workshop from 24-25 July. Albert has over 20 years experience in leadership roles in higher education, theology, and ministry and is the founder of Leadwise Consulting Pty Ltd - a leadership and change management consultancy. He is currently serving as Dean of Academic Programs at the University of Divinity.

 Non ALC students registering to attend a workshop for professional learning purposes will be required to pay an audit fee which will include morning tea, afternoon tea and lunch.
