Who We Are

Saint Luke's Lutheran Church, a traditional church with a modern mindset, was established in 1955.  Ever since, we have been engaging in faithful witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in service for the sake of God’s mission in the world.  


We are part of the NJ Synod of the nationwide Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA; Home - Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (elca.org)). 

 

This church, inspired and led by the Holy Spirit, is an all-inclusive local congregation, gathered for worship and Christian service.  We are a people created by God in Christ, empowered by the Holy Spirit and called by God to live out the message of Christ in love and service to all people.  We bear witness to God’s creative, redeeming, and sanctifying activity in the world, reaching out to all people to bring them to faith in Christ.

 

Since its inception, St. Luke’s has blossomed into a church with a myriad of programs, services, and outreaches.  We hold weekly congregational worship services, as well as services for special or holy days.  Our services offer weekly opportunity to partake in the Eucharist Sacrament of Holy Communion. Adult education/Bible studies allow for meaningful connection and conversation. The youth Sunday school curriculum (ages 3 through 8th grade) is designed to progress students from early age through 1st Communion through Confirmation to become adult members of the church.

 

In response to God’s love, this congregation is service-oriented and devoted: - to community outreach to meet human needs - to care for the sick and the aged - to be advocates for peace, reconciliation, dignity, justice and equity for all people - to care for the marginalized - to embrace and welcome racially and ethnically diverse people - to providing the hungry with physical and spiritual nourishment - to restoring homes and hearts for those in need - to distributing supplies to local families and children - to proclaiming the Gospel of Christ to our local community in word, deed and truth, to love our neighbors as ourselves.  This is the wonderfully blessed and busy life of St. Luke's Lutheran Church.
