St Paul's Lutheran Church Hahndorf

Welcome

Our congregation is part of the Lutheran Church of Australia, and as such we seek to be a place 'where love comes to life' or in other words, a place where the love, grace, forgiveness and compassion of Jesus Christ is evident through our worship, fellowship and care for each other.

Our Gospel mission is to all the family of God, which for us at St Paul's includes not just our local congregational family, but those in the Hahndorf community and beyond.

We are always delighted to welcome new participants to our worship and fellowship activities, where we trust you will find inspiration, joy, happiness and strength.

Worship

Worship services are held every Sunday at 10.15 am.

A Holy Communion service takes place most weeks, however we provide a variety of worship format experiences. Additional worship services are held on festival days.

Worship is followed by fellowship over tea or coffee.

Our Resident Pastor

Pastor Peter Heintze commenced as Resident Pastor to our congregation on 8th February 2026.

He joins our congregation in the rich Lutheran tradition that has shaped this community for generations — proclaiming Christ crucified and risen, faithfully administering the Sacraments, and shepherding God’s people with care and humility.

All members and visitors are invited to introduce themselves to Pastor Peter, and to share in the fellowship that has long been a hallmark of our congregation.

As God welcomes us into the body of Christ through baptism, we are all welcomed into community.

In community we are invited to worship and praise God, to encourage one another in faith and life, and to serve others in the larger community and world.
