2025 LEA Ministry Personnel Workshop and Accreditation

Wed 30 April – Fri 2 May 2025, LEVNT Regional Office, Melbourne

The three-day workshop is foundational for all who have a significant role in ministry in Lutheran learning communities. It provides participants with an understanding of how core theological concepts shape a Lutheran education context, the worship life of the community, our approach to pastoral care, and what learning looks like in a Lutheran school (please see below PDF for a breakdown of these concepts). The workshop can also be used as LEA Accreditation as a Ministry Personnel.

This three-day workshop was offered for the first time this year within each region to ensure that everyone had the opportunity to attend. Feedback from all three workshops was extremely positive, as seen below.

"As a new person to LEA getting to grips with all the terminology/ various depts/ policies/ documentation. There were practical things I can take back into my community, and has put things in a new perspective."

"Having the reflection questions allowed time to stop and think more about what stood out in the sessions, and time to consolidate thoughts. Also, the opportunities to mix with other people in a similar position as me."

"Thanks for a wonderful workshop. A lot of careful thought went into this, and the result was fantastic! Thanks so much!"

From next year on, the workshop will be offered nationally within one region. The 2025 workshop will be offered at the LEVNT Regional Office in Melbourne from 30 April to 2 May. All details are in the below flyer.
