NEW HERE?
Walking into a new church can be intimidating and at times terrifying depending on your previous church experience. Most people are apprehensive when they visit a new place. If you are considering attending our worship service, we invite you to come check out our "New Here" page. We can't fully describe what you will experience, but at least we can try to give you an idea of what to expect. This page is designed to help you “know” St. Luke’s before you ever set foot in the door.
