EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
Committee for New and Renewing Churches
The Office of the Bishop, on behalf of the General Church Council, is inviting nominations from people who may be interested in serving on the Committee for New and Renewing Churches.
A committee of the Board for Local Mission, it will provide support and advice on New and Renewing Churches within the LCA and act as a reference group to the Church Planting Mentor and Mission Facilitator. The committee will meet at least three times a year. Costs associated with travel to committee meetings will be covered by the LCA.
We are looking for a wide range of skills and experience, namely:
• One pastor currently serving in a local congregation
• Two members with expertise in diverse models of mission in new and established contexts
• Three members who are practitioners in local mission in new and/or existing mission fields
• One member with experience in strategic planning and/or organisational management.
The committee membership will be skills-based with reference to gender balance, age and geographical location.
We believe that God has blessed our church with many talented people who have the ability to make an effective contribution to the life and work of the LCA. Yours might be the finger that taps a sister or brother on the shoulder with: 'There's a great opportunity to serve the church; I thought it might suit you'.
If you are interested in serving on this committee, please contact LCA Executive Officer–Local Mission, Tania Nelson: tania.nelson@lca.org.au.
Nominations for the committee will close on Friday 24 February 2017.
