Faith is a journey. At St. Luke we believe everyone is on a unique walk with Christ. Sunday service is a great place to start connecting with our Lord. To supplement and deepen that relationship, we encourage you to participate in a Faith Development opportunity. New groups are welcome and encouraged. Speak with Pastor Heidi if you have an idea to inspire Faith Development at St. Luke.

Daily Online Devotionals
God Pause devotions are short, meaningful reflections on the following Sunday’s lessons and gospel. By Sunday, you’ll be ready for an extra meaningful worship experience.
D365 (With optional music) - These devotions were written by ministers, professors, students, teachers, missionaries, denominational leaders, and others who work with and care for students. An author typically writes one week of devotions.
In these devotions, you will read honest struggles and questions, all in the context of real faith. As you read the thoughts of the writers, think about your own response to the scripture for the day. Let the writer’s words serve as background for your own conversation with God.
