     Our interim priest is Fr. Larry Burton.  Fr. Larry spent most of his career as a university professor, but his heart is still in parish life.  
     Both Fr. Larry and Jonah (below) work with the Vestry to provide liturgical, spiritual and outreach ministries.  The Vestry is a group of committed laypersons who keep the parish going, and provide oversight of its ministries.
     Our worship is very liturgical based in The Book of Common Prayer.  We celebrate Holy Eucharist every Sunday and Morning Prayer three times a week.  Our Eucharist is streamed on YouTube (link above).
      We maintain a ministry of feeding through our Little Pantries which are kept stocked with small stable essentials and personal care items.

​     We host 3 AA groups, a jail ministry and various arts groups.  Through these ministries we serve approximately 200 people a week.

Everyone Made in God's Image

St. Luke's Church affirms that LGBTQ+ people are made in God’s image. We invite them to share their gifts and stories with the worshiping community. We collaborate with them to realize the command of Jesus to make disciples of all people. 

​At St Luke's we believe deeply that the broad--absolutely infinite--nature of God is best revealed to the world through uniqueness of every person. Whoever you are, you are not just welcomed, you are invited to work alongside us in God's vineyard.
