Becoming a Member


Membership in The Episcopal Church is recognized through Baptism and Confirmation. St. Luke’s offer’s Baptism several times throughout the year and Confirmation is offered regularly through the Diocese of Atlanta and at St. Luke’s when the bishop visits. We offer an Inquirer’s Class for those who wish to learn more about the church and membership. Contact The Rev. Joe Rose - jrose@stlukesatlanta.org - to learn more about membership at St. Luke’s.
