Welcome to St. Luke’s! We know navigating a new church for the first time can make you feel a bit uneasy. Let us help put you at ease by letting us know when you’d like to visit, and a friendly member from our team will meet you at the Main Entrance, help you check your children into Sunday School or nursery care, take you on a tour of our building, introduce you to pastors and other helpful people at St. Luke’s, and walk with you into a worship service. When the service is over, we can meet up again to answer any questions over a treat and/or cup of coffee in our Gathering Room.
We look forward to seeing you soon and sharing all that St. Luke’s has to offer with you!

Path to Membership
If you are looking for a church home, we invite you to join St. Luke’s and participate in passionate worship, faith-forming relationships and ministries that make a difference.
Step 1: Coffee with the Pastor
Coffee with the Pastor is a casual group gathering with Dr. Tom Pace, Senior Pastor at St. Luke’s. During Coffee with the Pastor, he will share his spiritual journey and invite you to examine your own. You will learn more about St. Luke’s vision, structure, mission and what it means to be a member of our church. Coffee with the Pastor is offered throughout the year. Register by selecting an upcoming date below.
Step 2: Joining Service
Immediately following Coffee with the Pastor, those who are ready to join St. Luke’s in membership are invited to do so. You may be transferring from another United Methodist church, coming from another denomination, or be joining a church for the first time.
What if you are not ready to join? While we hope you will consider becoming a member, we invite you to continue visiting as long as you wish.
Step 3: Starting Point
After you join the church, we encourage you to attend Starting Point, a class designed to jumpstart our spiritual journeys, transforming our hearts, our relationships, and our city. It features teaching by Dr. Pace, opportunities for reflection and discussion, and practical ways to plug into the various ministries of St. Luke’s. Please contact Lauren Ruhl at 713-548-4221 to learn more about the next Starting Point opportunity.
