Whether you join us in person or listen online, we would love you to be part of our journey through Luke’s Gospel.
Come on Sunday

Invite a friend to explore Luke with you
This Gospel stands out as an "orderly account" so that we may know the certainty of the things we have been taught about Jesus.
As we delve into these chapters together, may we encounter afresh the Jesus who seeks the lost, heals the broken, and calls us to live out His radical love. Let this be a time of renewal, where the words of Luke inspire us to follow Christ more closely in our community and beyond.
