St. Luke’s is a parish with a strong sense of community and family. Our parishioners are infants, octogenarians and everyone in between. This welcoming and inviting community admires the beauty of the Episcopal liturgy.
The outstanding music and graceful liturgy are central to the life of St. Luke’s. Our worship is greatly enhanced by the beautiful sanctuary with stained glass windows.
St. Luke’s is a peaceful, comfortable, welcoming place to worship. We have a long tradition of high-quality preaching, based on sound theology and its applications to daily life.

Our Sunday services have been described as beautiful, uplifting, contemplative, and dignified. While St. Luke’s parishioners prefer the traditional Rite I and Rite II liturgies, augmented on occasion by liturgies from other traditions, there is also a growing interest in inclusive language. Beautiful choral and organ music are central to the worship experience at our 10:00 am service. We offer open communion and invite all to participate, including children who have been baptized. We also offer special services on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Thanksgiving Eve. Other holy days are celebrated on the Sunday closest to the date. On Christmas Eve, we have a popular children’s Nativity pageant and family Eucharist that draws a large number of friends and family.
