St Luke's United Methodist Church is a dynamic family of faith sharing authentic worship, genuine spiritual growth and humble service to all. Our members actively live our mission as we work within various church ministries seeking to enrich and better the lives of our congregation, community, and world.
Visit Us to find out more about our dynamic family of faith. Our worship services are a mix of generations and people. We do not have a dress code so just be comfortable but respectful.
Children are always welcome. A nursery is available for children 6 wks to 2 yrs. old. Children 3 yrs and older are invited to participate in worship services. Word and Wonder is a special time for children where they are invited to the front steps of the sanctuary to hear a message just for them. At that time children ages 3-kindergarten may leave for children's church.
What We Believe
Mission Statement
We are becoming a faithful community of disciples striving to share the heart, mind, and hands of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit continually leads St. Luke's to seek God's Vision for the present and future witness of this vital church. With roots dating back to 1870, this present-day urban congregation has been a dynamic contributor to Wesleyan Christianity in the Mid-South. Today, that service continues. Amidst all the challenges of 21st century life, we sense God calling us to have a clear vision, authentic worship, and faith-centered goals in order to be the faithful church God desires. This means we are neither about self nor maintaining an institution. We are about answering the call to be part of what God is doing at this time and place to transform and redeem the world.
Ministries of the HEART
Luke10:27: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart...”
To strive for the heart of Christ, we will first and foremost discover and re-discover the whole-hearted discipleship Christ beckons us to embrace in an atmosphere of acceptance and forgiveness. We know that all the studies, plans and projections we might make are doomed unless we deepen our faith together. As the crucial starting point of our response to God's Love and Grace, we will seek to share the Heart of Jesus authentically through Worship, LIFE Groups, Hospitality, Prayer and Caring.
Ministries of the MIND
Philippians 2:5 “...have the same mind in you that was in Christ Jesus.”
We rejoice in the gift of Reason God has given us. With appreciation for the wonderful heritage of Christian Education, we dedicate ourselves to the search for wholeness and holiness through Bible study, learning experiences of all kinds and active engagement with the needs of neighbors and the community.
Ministries of HAND
Luke
10:27: “...and you shall love your
neighbor as yourself.”
Our St. Luke's identity is strongly connected to servanthood, in the spirit of Christ as he washed the feet of the disciples. We are determined to continue being a channel of caring for those in need, nearby and around the world. In essence we are all missionaries.
