“Oh, we are actually needing to find a new church. We found out we’re not really welcome at the one we had been going to when we asked to have our baby dedicated. They said they wouldn’t pray over a marriage and family that wasn’t a man and a woman.”...
Grace and Peace Beloved St. Lukers, We are halfway through our “Beyond the Box” sermon series, and we’ve heard powerful testimonies and feedback about how these ancient words of wisdom from Proverbs AND our guidelines have challenged and supported us in our journey of life and faith. This Sunday, Pastor...

Feliz mes de la herencia hispana! Or as we in Puerto Rican culture like to say, WEPA! Hispanic Heritage Month is always a time that fills me with joy and celebration. As a second-generation Puerto Rican-American, it’s an opportunity for me to reconnect with and honor some of my cultural...
As someone of African American, Native American, and Puerto Rican descent, I find Hispanic Heritage Month to be an incredible opportunity to celebrate the diversity that makes our country truly unique.

Grace and Peace Beloved St. Lukers, I hope this message finds you well, and that this week you’ve found opportunities to reveal the Kingdom of God to others. Last week, I had the joy of joining my wife, Shelly, as we witnessed our dear friend Joshua take a huge step...
Grace and Peace, Beloved St. Lukers, I pray this message finds you well and that your families are adjusting smoothly to the fall school schedule. It feels a bit strange to say “fall” when it’s still 100 degrees outside, but here we are—fall has arrived. High school football games are...
Dear St. Lukers, Last week I had the privilege of leading one of our Partnership classes, Discover St. Luke’s, for people who are either just getting to know St. Luke’s, or for people who are moving toward Partnership (membership) in our church. We spend most of our time going through...
Happy Kickoff Week St. Lukers! I hope you were as energized as we were on Sunday as we kicked off the fall being reminded of our callings as disciples – to learn, live, love and lead together with each of our “wild and precious” lives! So I’m just going to...
