Welcome to St. Luke's Episcopal Church!
Anne Hodges-Copple, Rector
Welcome to St. Luke's! We hope this web site will provide you with a portal into the God-loving, Christ-centered, neighbor-serving community we call our parish home.
The people of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Durham strive to embody a spirit of hospitality, comfort, exhortation and thanksgiving. We do this to the glory of God, in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit. All are welcome at St. Luke's: the new born and the born again (and again!); those who once were found but may have lost their way; the newly retired and those tired of trying to find God in a very confusing world. Our parish is a delightful mosaic of diverse people with differing gifts and points of view brought together by one God who wants nothing more than to forgive us, love us and give us new life.
Our mission as a parish is
- to love and praise God in beautiful and engaging worship where we celebrate the presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist and in our community;
- to love and serve others by warmly welcoming everyone who comes through our doors, especially those who are looking for a community of forgiveness, grace and transformation;
- to provide care and nurture for the mind, the body and the spirit as well as care for the earth by offering opportunities for study, reflection, service and the discernment of gifts for ministry;
- to seek and serve Christ in vigorous outreach programs that serve those in need across our neighborhoods and across the world.
Use this web site to take a virtual look at St Luke's. More importantly, we invite you to join us at any event that interests you, most especially Sunday morning worship. All are welcome!
