Overview

St. Luke's Anglican Church wants to be Encountering Christ, Transforming Lives, and Demonstrating Love locally and throughout the world.

To live a life of mission means to have a personal relationship with Christ, to understand the fundamental value of all human beings, to build relationships where Christ can be shared and to partner with others to work toward justice in this world.

Locally, the people of St. Luke's are feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, supporting women in crisis pregnancy situations, helped plant a Korean daughter church and much more. Internationally, St. Luke's has sent short-term mission teams to 16 countries in Africa, Asia and South America with the good news of Christ's gospel and supports overseas missionaries in Kenya, Bolivia, Chile and England. 

St. Luke's Anglican Church is a local church with a world vision. Following are some of the outreach ministries we are involved in. For more information, please contact the individuals indicated for each ministry.
