Rooted in Scripture,
Centered on Christ
Founded in 1890 by believers committed to preserving the historic worship and doctrine of the ancient Church, St. Luke’s Anglican Church has stood for generations as a place of reverent, Scripture-saturated, Christ-centered worship. Born from a desire to remain faithful to the historic Anglican tradition, our parish embraced the Reformed Episcopal Church’s creedal, sacramental, liturgical, and episcopal heritage—rooted in the Book of Common Prayer and the faith once delivered to the saints.
Today, we continue that legacy with warm hospitality, time-tested prayers, rich hymnody, and worship shaped by Word and Sacrament. At St. Luke’s, we joyfully confess our need for God’s grace, proclaim the saving work of Jesus Christ, and welcome all who seek to know and follow Him.

What To Expect
You will receive a warm welcome! We love visitors. If at any point you are confused, just ask someone sitting near you. We are happy to help.
Our worship is liturgical. There are two parts to the liturgy: the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Sacrament. Everyone participates in worship. We sing, pray, and move together – standing to sing, kneeling to pray, and sitting for instruction. You will join us in praying prayers that have stood the test of time. These prayers have been prayed for many hundreds of years and have their roots in the prayers of the earliest Christians. Anglican worship emphasizes the holiness and majesty of God, which calls for our respect and reverence.
There is far more Scripture used in Anglican service than in many other church services. We read as many as four readings from Scripture – an Old Testament reading, a Psalm, an Epistle, and a Gospel reading.
We don’t hold back on confessing our sin. Our prayers leave no wiggle room. Together, we confess that “there is no health in us." We acknowledge our unworthiness to "gather the crumbs under [God's] table." Anglican worship is about admitting we are utterly incapable on our own of pleasing God or earning our salvation, and admitting that only by what he did on the cross on our behalf can we be forgiven and saved. This is the source of our victory, our joy, our peace.
At most services we celebrate the Eucharist, and if you are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, you are welcome to receive the sacrament of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We sing hymns – not because old hymns are better than new ones, but because these songs have lasted through the ages.
