Youth
At St. Luke’s, we have an incredible team of volunteers and teachers who help make our youth ministry possible. They are ready to welcome young people in grades 6–12, walk alongside them, and create space for them to be themselves, and to continue discovering who God is calling them to be.
We believe young people are full members of the Church today and that they are fully seen, known and loved. We believe Church is a community where youth know they belong and where their voices, questions, gifts, and presence matter.
St. Luke’s Youth is a place to ask honest and deep questions, wrestle with faith, grow together in community, serve others, build meaningful friendships, and, of course, have fun. We create this to be a community where youth can bring their whole selves, explore what they believe, and discover how their faith connects with their lives and the world around them.
