People bring our church to life. We’re grateful for the ways you share your gifts, time, and leadership to help St. Luke’s live out its mission. This fall, we’re creating space to invest in you, build community across ministries, and explore ideas that can shape the way we lead together.
Join fellow St. Luke’s leaders and volunteers for a new take on our annual Ministry Leadership Retreat, featuring two meaningful opportunities for connection, learning, and worship.
This weekend is open to all volunteers who facilitate or lead groups or classes, serve on a Ministry Leadership Council or Core Team, and/or are part of an Elected Leadership Team.
