Saint Luke’s Mission Statement

Saint Luke’s Church strives to be a center of spiritual strength and compassionate service to others, remembering that we are called to be the presence of Christ in the world. We offer a welcoming home for all who seek greater awareness of God’s purpose. By worshipping and learning together, we share in the joys of faith and supportive community, while growing in individual ways. United by God’s abiding love, we celebrate the rich diversity of our community, opening our doors to all people.

St Luke’s is an Episcopal parish in the Diocese of Long Island and a member of the global Anglican communion. 


The Eucharist is the heart of who we are and what we do

“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.” (1 Corinthians 12)

The Eucharist is the ultimate expression of our unity in Christ, individuals sharing in one bread, being transformed into one body.

Our unity in Jesus overcomes all barriers and divisions: race, ethnicity, language, age, socio-economic status, political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, difference in physical ability, or neuro typicality or atypicality.

St Luke’s is a liturgically grounded, creedally orthodox, and Bible believing congregation: We take St Paul quite literally when he writes“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s then you are…heirs according to promise.”

Whether you’re a life long Episcopalian, a Christian not affiliated with any denomination, a spiritual seeker, or even not quite sure what you’re after, St Luke’s doors are open to you. All are truly welcome.
