LCANZ Churchwide Office (CWO) staff moved into the new Church House in Adelaide’s CBD last month and, as of 1 December, are ready to welcome visitors to the 139 Frome Street premises.

Still spreading the same gospel message

When people filled Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Adelaide to listen to the launch of The Lutheran Hour radio program in Australia on 2 September 1945, they could not have known what that event would set in motion.

ALC leaves campus, new library opens

Australian Lutheran College’s (ALC) library has reopened at its new Adelaide CBD premises at 22 Pulteney Street. The relocation of the huge ALC collection is a result of the sale of the North Adelaide ALC campus and LCANZ Churchwide Office (CWO) buildings. College and CWO staff will relocate to the new Church House at 139 Frome Street, Adelaide, this year.
