Missionaries
Missionaries are individuals who are called to serve God in a unique cultural context. These persons are willing to leave their own environment and share Christ in a new communities through their roles as teachers, church planters, preachers, doctors, community developers, agriculturalists, area financial executives, counselors and attorneys. Their primary roles include strengthening and renewing Christian congregations and communities; alleviating human suffering; and seeking justice, freedom and peace. St. Luke's is currently supporting two Church and Community Workers serving as missionaries in Florida and is helping those wanting to serve as individual mission volunteers who may serve for 6 months to 1 year or more anywhere in the world.

Mission Partners
St. Luke’s Mission Partnerships are holistic relationships we have with a limited number of faith communities. Because of the intensity of these partnerships, we intentionally limit the number at any given time. Our Mission Partnerships are long-term commitments, multi-purpose (construction and evangelism and children’s outreach), mutual, financial, and intergenerational in support. After more than a decade of building strong relationships we are exploring how to create more opportunities for development with local leaders. St. Luke’s currently has partnerships in Florida City, Cuba, Jamaica, Northern Ireland, Dominican Republic, and Ethiopia. Learn More... |
Mission Teams
St. Luke’s sends out a variety of mission teams each year some for a weekend and some for up to 10 days. We refer to these as our mission experiences because these are much more than a trip lasting for a short period of time. The mission experience starts long before you leave and changes your life after you get back. Preparation time is required for all of our longer mission experiences and the sessions include spiritual formation, our mission theology, cultural and historical perspectives, and team dynamics. St. Luke’s sends teams to each of our six mission partners, disaster sites, and other appropriate locations as leaders arise. Learn More... |
