A Church with Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors

We are a Christian community seeking to understand and live out the teachings of Jesus. As a progressive congregation, we strive to:

  • Love and accept all people—especially the marginalized and outcast
  • Grow in faith and serve our local and global communities
  • Stand for both charity and justice for the well-being of all people
A Fully Inclusive Church

St. Luke celebrates diversity as central to God’s kingdom.
We embrace people of all:

  • Races, ages, and cultures
  • Religious backgrounds and beliefs
  • Marital, social, and economic statuses
  • Physical and mental abilities
  • Sexual orientations and gender identities

Everyone is worthy of God’s love and grace.
And everyone is welcome here.

Core Beliefs

We believe:

  • All persons are equal in God’s world and entitled to the same rights, respect, and inclusion
  • St. Luke is called to be a fully inclusive congregation
  • God’s love is not limited to one tradition—we honor and respect those of other faiths (or no faith)
  • Doubt and honest questions are vital to a living, growing faith
  • Stewardship means practicing generosity and caring responsibly for both economic and environmental resources
A Reconciling Congregation

A Reconciling Congregation

We affirm:

  • That God’s image is reflected in every person
  • That diversity is a gift, not a barrier
  • That the church should be a place of belonging, justice, and love for all
