Youth Ministries

The Student Ministry at St. Luke is a Christ centered ministry for students in the 6th – 12th grade. We strive to be faithful to the Great Commission given by Jesus to His Apostles to “go and make disciples.” As the Director of Student Ministries, it is my desire that our young people come to receive Jesus Christ as Savior, grow as disciples, and live a life marked by service to others. Please see below for our weekly activities:
