4worldlovers: St. Luke's is a Sanctuary parish and is a safe place for all.

We welcome the LGBTQIA+ community, our unhoused siblings, and anyone still exploring their relationship with God.

We believe that all human beings have a place in God’s eternal love, which leads us on a journey of inclusion made real by loving one another as God loves us. We seek a radical love that transforms our differences into the beautiful body of Christ. We intentionally invite all into a meaningful, deeper, and collaborative faith journey as part of the St. Luke's Community.

We believe that God loves diversity and commonality, joyful noise and silent peace. We continually strive to develop a personal understanding of God’s presence within and around us. Our faith is both a personal journey, and a fulfilling fellowship with those we know, those we may not see, and those who we find hard to love. Through God’s grace we discover ourselves and the exuberant joy of being.

We believe that we take out into the world both what we do, and what we receive in worship and community: the body and blood of Christ, forgiveness, awareness of God’s grace and mercy, and the joy of communion with God and one another. Thus, we are called to relentlessly actualize love, grace, mercy, and justice as we do good in our church, our neighborhood, and the world.

We believe that everyone at St. Luke’s brings unique and diverse gifts and talents that can be used to live into the reality of being God’s Beloved Community. By fostering an environment in which people claim their unique identity in Christ, their special gifts, and their personal calling, we strive to invite and equip disciples to humbly live into their life in Christ. We seek spiritual and social transformation as we offer ourselves as Christ's heart, hands, and feet in the world.

We believe that for us continue to grow into Beloved Community, we must be open to being transformed by Christ. We strive to live in a state of awareness, willingly acknowledging and embracing the discomfort that comes when our egos are challenged. We know that in the journey to becoming Beloved Community there will be changes and losses, and we accept them as part of the newness into which Christ invites us.
