    St. Luke isn’t a “country-club” church where you have to put up a facade and act like everything is perfect. You get to be your authentic self! It’s a place where God’s people welcome you as you are, as it should be! We actually do stuff together inside and outside of the church. We are an RIC Church too 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️! …

    We love this church! After years of searching for a fellowship that strives to be a multi-cultural house of worship and family center, we finally landed at St. Luke Lutheran. And we couldn't be more pleased. Come worship with us. You'll be glad you did.

  • Michael Lee9 years ago

    We love the music programs. I am proud that we have been involved in Interfaith Hospitality Network now called Family Promise since its beginning in Memphis, ministering to homeless families 3 times a year for more than 20 years!

  • Tammye Butler6 years ago

    St. Luke demonstrates God's AGAPE love regularly. Opening their doors to community partners such as Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, The YMCA for summer camp, Feeding the homeless thru their food pantry... ALL in addition to providing a place to worship and fellowship!

  • Tanya Bolkcom9 years ago

    We really enjoy both styles of worship at St. Luke and appreciate Pastor Paul White and the other men and women of God who were our "spiritual leaders" for the past three months while Pastor Cliff was on sabbatical, now he is back. Alleluia!

  • Anthony Hugoboom2 years ago

    This is a woke/liberal church which I highly recommend staying away from. I recommend St. Francis church next door.
