About us

Family

St. Luke’s story is one of vision, rebirth and service. The church was founded in the 19th century as a refuge for those fleeing the ravages of war. Almost a century later, the "little refugee church" made an intentional decision to remain in downtown Atlanta 
as other churches were heading for the suburbs. These two "births" are vital to the DNA of the community that continues to worship and serve in Atlanta to this day.

Our Core Values

Faithful

We strive to follow Jesus in the sacramental tradition of the Episcopal church in prayer, fellowship, and study, and in 
service to the greater community.

Inclusive

We strive to welcome and grow 
with many kinds of people and perspectives toward a more just society.

Dynamic

We are open to change as we distinguish how to carry out God's work in this time by engaging in deep listening and thought-provoking processes of discernment.

Generous

We strive to collaboratively use our resources to care for each other, our church, our community, and our world.
