Giving at St. Luke
At St. Luke, we encourage and appreciate generous giving because we know that giving is an expression of healthy spirituality. Generous giving is at the heart of God, and as followers of Christ, we give in response to all that God has first given us.
Ways to Give

You can bring cash or a check to church on Sunday mornings and give them during the offering.
