Welcome
to St Luke's Church where...
- we
seek to worship God as made known to us in Jesus
Christ
- we
are unafraid to reason, laugh and explore
- we
know we need one another as we try to embody our faith
in our daily lives
- we
welcome people of faith, all who seek faith and friendship,
and all who doubt

St Luke’s is a
church which stands at the heart of a lively community as it has done for
more than one hundred years. A church whose worship,
music and liturgy seek to be the very best that we can offer; a church
which warmly welcomes all; a church to which all may feel that they
belong and in which their offerings in terms of worship and service
are valued; a church whose parish priest and lay people go out to
witness
to the love of God and the claims of the gospel; a church prepared
to take risks in its search to provide an identifiable visible Christian
presence in an increasingly secular environment; a church to which
those
of all ages come to experience the Christian faith and to encounter
the living God; a church from which people go with their faith strengthened,
their doubts resolved, and their fears at rest.
St
Luke’s is a place where, in the company of
others on their pilgrim way, men and women have been able to “seek
after God and find Him”. That is our real
mission as we take hold of the objectives of worship, teaching, fellowship
and outreach.
"One
of the great challenges that we all face is how does our Christian
faith help us in our everyday life, at work and at home. What
does it mean to be a Christian in 21st century Britain? At
St Luke's, we are launching a long term project to reflect
on Christianity in our daily routine, to support one another
in the busyness of life and to ask questions about the principles
and moral compass that guide us in making choices. This project
will be an exploration of Christianity lived out beyond the
church walls and beyond Sunday mornings."
