St. Luke's Group Life for Adults

“For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20
St. Luke's encourages you to connect with others here on your spiritual journey outside of your Sunday worship experience. To help facilitate these connections we have many different types of group ministries. They are organized into three categories: Affinity Groups, Discipleship Groups and Care Groups. We hope within this list below you will find a place to believe and belong.

To view all of the class offerings you can currently sign up for on our website, please visit the Disciple Building Growth Groups & Classes Search page.

Discipleship Groups:
Individuals that come together to grow in their relationship with God through intentional Bible or topical study. These groups are broken up into three sub-categories.

1. Learning Communities- opportunities of various sizes offered to share the basics of who we are called to be as followers of Jesus at St. Luke’s.
2. Discipleship Affinity Groups- places where persons, drawn together by a particular season in life or common interest, gather for Christ-like connection and engage in some type of intentional study.
3. Growth Groups- places where Christians gather to study the Bible of a particular topic related to spiritual formation. These groups pray together, and engage in respectful, challenging conversation in order to be formed more in the image of Jesus.
