God calls us to be a community in Christ and to be Christ to the world.  The small groups and lay ministries of St. Luke's help us live into this mission.

This channel serves as a gateway to more information about our small groups and lay ministries.  Click here for a list of small groups and lay ministries active at St. Luke's.  If you DON’T find a group that fits your needs, interests, or calling, please email Barbara Frazell, Lay Ministry & Missions Coordinator, or call her at the office at 266-2455.

ABOUT SMALL GROUPS  Small groups are a place where we can laugh, learn, and grow together, and develop far deeper relationships than are possible within a large congregation. The fun, fellowship, and study opportunities available through the many small groups at St. Luke’s help us to “be a community in Christ.”

ABOUT LAY MINISTRY The word “ministry” is derived from the word “ministration”, which is defined as “the act or process of serving or aiding.” “Lay ministry” refers to those areas in which non-ordained clergy, or “lay” people, use the time, talent, and treasure given to us by God in service or aid to others—so that we may “be Christ to the world”. St. Luke’s has a strong culture of lay ministry, with dozens of options available depending on your particular calling.

ABOUT MISSIONS  Where do "missions" fit in?  In this context, the word "mission" is defined as "a ministry commissioned by a religious organization to propagate its faith."'  Among our lay ministries are several that are mission-focused. 

Many of the groups at St. Luke’s serve dual purposes—both as small groups building our community in Christ, and as lay ministries through which we serve others to be Christ to the world. And many parishioners are active in several groups.   Where is God calling you to be?
