What to Expect


What is a typical service like? 

Every service includes a combination of Bible readings, a time of corporate confession and absolution, songs, prayers, as well as a sermon, an offering and Holy Communion. A typical service lasts for about an hour.  Masks are no longer required for in person services and events but you are welcome to continue wearing one if this feels more comfortable for you. 

 

What about kids? 

Children are important to us and welcome in worship! Every service contains a children's message. On your way into church, you can pick up a children's bulletin, which may assist you during service. 

 

St. Luke also offers a Nursery for young children who may not be able to sit for the entire service. 

 

Do I need to participate in the service? 

We welcome guests to read and sing along during the service, although how much is competely up to you. 

 

How should I dress? 

There is not a dress code at St. Luke. You will see people wearing business, business casual and casual attire. No matter what you choose to wear, the most important thing

is that you are ready to worship our Lord. 

 

Will I be able to take Holy Communion? 

If you are worshipping with us for the first time, please speak with a St. Luke pastor or elder before communing. 

What WE belIEVE

We are a Biblical, Creedal, Lutheran Congregation…. 


We believe that the Bible is the authoritative word of God and that it reveals for us the truth about the human situation and God’s solution for it. 


Our teachings are drawn from the Bible. Our people are encouraged to read and understand the Bible for themselves. 


Our teachings focus on Jesus. He is truly God and man, and he is the one and only hope for new and eternal life with God. Through the unique life, death and resurrection of Jesus we have rescue from sin, death and the power of the devil. 


We confess the creeds of the Church: the Apostles’, Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. Our congregation is rooted in the historic teachings of the Christian Church. Specifically we believe that: The Triune God is the one true and living God, God created the heavens and earth, Jesus is the only way to be saved, We are saved by grace through faith, Angels and demons exist, God and his Church love sinners and want them rescued. There is a final and eternal seperation from God for those who reject him. There is a final and eternal restoration to life with God for those who believe in Jesus. 


We follow the historical confessions of Lutherans. We are firmly and joyfully connected with the heritage that accented scripture alone, grace alone and faith alone. We hold to the understanding that God works through his Word and his Sacraments to draw us and keep us in faith. We eagerly engage in worship that embraces the traditions of the past while engaging the people of today.
