Praying, singing, and working
together to love God and our neighbor
About us
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.
