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.)
