Volunteer Opportunities

In a church as large as St. Luke's, there are opportunities to serve right within the church walls. Or outside, which technically isn't inside the church walls, but it's still within the heart of the church! Check out all the opportunities available. Have a particular talent but don't see a listing that matches up? Contact the main office and let them know how you'd like to serve.
