St. Luke Lutheran Church

About Us

Worship - Connect - Serve - Grow

St. Luke is a vibrant community shaped by the Lutheran tradition and sent out into the world to live out God’s love in Christ.

We welcome all who seek a closer relationship with God. While you may come from another faith tradition, or none at all, we hope to join hands with you in ministry inside our four walls and also building relationships with those in need beyond our doors. Since our founding in 1943 special emphasis has been placed on personal spiritual growth and serving our neighbor.

Together with the 10,000+ congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we celebrate the gift of who we are – people of varied ethnic, gender, sexual, age, and spiritual backgrounds.

Find out more about St. Luke by using the “About Us” menu on the right-side of this page.

Come and experience the journey as Christ shapes us all!

What if I'm not a Christian?
People of all faiths, seeking faith or would just like to find out more are welcome. The ELCA confesses the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching the ELCA trusts the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. ELCA teaching or theology serves the proclamation and ministry of this faith. It does not have an answer for all questions, not even all religious questions. Teaching or theology prepares members to be witnesses in speech and in action of God’s rich mercy in Jesus Christ. - See more at: http://www.elca.org/Faith/ELCA-Teaching#sthash.wQHNkjDX.dpuf
