St. Luke’s has been a Christ-centered, Wesleyan witness of love and grace in Central Florida for nearly 50 years. As the region’s largest progressive United Methodist church, we live our values through radical hospitality, inclusive community, service, and discipleship.
We offer worship, a Community Counseling Center, a Preschool, volunteer opportunities, and support groups. We’ve launched four nonprofits focused on healthcare access, arts and financial support for entertainers, community development, and STEAM education in underserved schools.
St. Luke’s is also known for theatre ministry, LGBTQ inclusion, public education support, and equity-driven initiatives.
Our Purpose & MISSION
At St. Luke’s, our purpose calls us deeper—to awaken as disciples and to reveal God’s kingdom in everyday life. Awaken Disciples points to personal holiness and grace: a lifelong journey of learning, following Jesus, and leading with love. Reveal the Kingdom names social holiness: joining God’s work for a world made right, where justice, equity, reconciliation, and hope take root.
Our mission is to help the believers of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church reach as many people as possible in Central Florida, introducing them to eternal life in Jesus Christ. Together, we commit to worship, connect, care, and grow as Disciples, to serve in revealing the Kingdom of God.
At our center is the love of Jesus Christ.
At St. Luke’s, we believe that discipleship and leadership are one and the same. The goal of discipleship at St. Luke’s is to develop and equip St. Lukers as leaders in their daily lives and in the public square. To do this, we:
St Lukes will engage personally with scripture, literally reading it for themselves, while learning not to read or interpret it literally.
St. Lukers will bring their experiences, opinions and perspectives into conversatoin with one another.
St. Lukers will worship weekly, focused on praise, prayer, and presence for God.
St. Lukers will lead their lives with purpose, informed by their LEARN, LIVE, and LOVE experiences so that they can use their voice, influence, and presence to live into their callings.
