Pastor: Rev. David Tatgenhorst

St. Luke Church is a church of open hearts, open minds, and open doors. We welcome you to worship with us any Sunday at 10 am. Our pastor is Rev. David Tatgenhorst. We offer a children's program called the Children's Celebration each Sunday during the worship service. The children gather in worship each Sunday. Most Sundays the children gather at the altar for a "theme talk" with the pastor or a congregant. They are introduced to the theme of the morning celebration and then the children go downstairs for separate programs. Melaina Marshall is the director/organizer of our Children's Celebration.  Chrisnie Pagana  teaches the class for younger children. Anissa Khan teaches the older children. There is also a nursery for toddlers or babies.

Each Sunday's morning celebration includes inspiring music directed by Organist/Choir Director Clyde Shive, jr., relevant preaching, and the presence of the Spirit. (Click here for a copy of a recent sermon at St. Luke.)

Living In Faith Everyday

We invite all members and friends of St. Luke to join one of our LIFE groups. The acronym stands for Living In Faith Everyday. You may want to start with the new members' class which meets with the pastor. These classes are a chance to learn about the faith, get to know other members, and to explore your particular faith journey. Then continue your faith journey through one of these regular groups:

Parents' LIFE group: meets the first and third Tuesday of the month over a shared dinner. Childcare provided along with Bible study and parenting support.

Exercising our Faith LIFE group: meets every second and fourth Monday evening for yoga stretching, and spiritual growth and support.

Women's Workshop: meets Tuesday mornings for spiritual support and lunch.

College Students' LIFE group: meets according to students schedule for dinner, Bible study and personal support, a "home away from home."

Homebound Visitation LIFE group: meets Monday evenings at the homes of homebound members and friends for singing and Bible study.

Men's Breakfast LIFE group: meets the first Sunday of every month at 8 am before the morning worship.

Sunday Bible Study: meets every Sunday after church for intensive Bible Study.
