Each executive team member is a strong supporter and advocate of the LLL. Our executive team performs a vital role in the day-to-day running of LLL, driving and monitoring performance in line with the strategic intent, operational, risk, and financial objectives while considering the various needs of our stakeholders – staff, depositors, borrowers, and supporters.

Our seven-person executive focus on optimising LLL's performance, reducing complexity, investing in capability, telling our story, and delivering on our vision; to meet the capital needs of organisations that proclaim Christ as Lord and Saviour and that seek to show His love to all people in word and deed. In doing so LLL will seek to generate a reasonable surplus to remain sustainable and support the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) in its business and financial matters.
