St Luke Adopts Core Values

Last Sunday, the congregation approved the adoption of the following core values that define who we are as a congregation. The core values show us how we accomplish our mission to connect people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Thank you to the Core Values Discovery team for their leadership over the past year, our church council, staff, and you for your invaluable input that enabled us to discern these core values.

We act with authenticity and integrity in living these core values:

Life-Giving Relationships: We foster life-giving friendships and meaningful connections that contribute to our mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being. We offer non-judgmental support through both the victories and the challenges of life.

Active Faith: We keep God at the heart of all that we do. We strive to grow and deepen our personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to introduce others to God’s love and grace. We recognize that faith is dynamic and cultivate opportunities to deepen our faith so that it becomes vibrant and rich, touching every aspect of our lives.

Purposeful & Generous Caring: We believe that hands-on service and abundant generosity can have life-changing impact. We embrace our calling as Christ followers to be Jesus to others, partnering with our community to serve those in need both locally and around the world.

Sweeping Acceptance: We seek to build bridges and break down barriers, even when we disagree. We love unconditionally because Jesus loves unconditionally. No matter where you are in your life or in your faith, there is a place for you here. You belong.

Honoring 15 Years of Service

You are invited to honor and celebrate the 15 years of devoted service by Aaron McCullough to St. Luke Lutheran Church on Sunday, June 26 after the conclusion of the Contemporary Service with a light picnic lunch/ice cream social.

Bring your lawn/canvas chairs (extra chairs will be available) to church that day so that we can enjoy lunch, celebrate Aaron’s faithful service, and express our gratefulness to Aaron and his family.

The McCullough family will be moving this summer to Pocahontas, Iowa where Aaron will begin a new chapter in his life by teaching choral music in the local public school system.

Please let us know if you plan to attend.

New Contemporary Worship Director

We are pleased to announce that Carrie Whatley will assume the role of Contemporary Worship Director beginning Sunday, July 3rd.

At HayDay VBS, kids will be up to their elbows in farmin' fun as they explore one simple Bible truth: Jesus will always love us! Join us Friday-Saturday, July 15-16! Register early here. Did we mention that VBS is FREE?

Two Ways You Can Support the Food Pantry

Our friends at the LSS Food Pantry have put together two flyers with items you can donate during the summer months. If you would like to participate, you can drop off your donated items in the wood box outside the Traditional Sanctuary and we will deliver them to the pantry.
