Outreach & Missions
Looking for a way to make a difference in the world? St. Luke's can help. With our outward-focused emphasis on service, you can easily find a way to share your gifts with others in need. Get ready for the well-known service boomerang effect: those who give often find they receive far more in return.
Community Ministries
Build a wheelchair ramp. Tutor at a neighborhood school with at-risk kids. Cook breakfast for the homeless and hungry. Donate school supplies or underwear for children in need. Buy goods for a food pantry. Participate in a race relations study circle or dialogue with someone from another faith. With all this and more, what are you waiting for?
World Missions
Work trips change lives. Make a difference in places like Haiti, Honduras, Sierra Leone, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Dakota and Florida. Unable to travel? Health kits and flood buckets save lives too.
Global Health
The United Methodist Church is committed to the eradication of AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. St. Luke's has been a strong partner with the global church effort in fighting these tragic diseases.
Inclusiveness
St. Luke's Inclusiveness initiative supports the church in its focus on inclusiveness by being intentional as a congregation to live in true community with people of various cultures, faiths and ethnic backgrounds as, together, we celebrate similarities and honor differences.
Social Justice
The Social Justice Commission of St. Luke's has as its mission to "raise awareness and understanding of current social issues and to ground them in community programs to transform the world." The commission focused on one large event in 2009. Pedal 4 Peace took place in October 2009 and raised funds for Mar Elias and other peace efforts in the Middle East. This event repeats on October 2, 2010.
