About St Luke’s

St. Luke’s aims to be a warm and welcoming “all age” faith community that is passionate about engaging with the people  around us and the world we live in.  We believe in kindness and faith in action!

Worship services happen weekly on Sunday mornings, and monthly gatherings include Messy church for all ages, House church for the more intellectually minded person, and a mid-week service especially for folk who find it difficult to get to weekly Sunday services.

Our community activities include helping newly arrived immigrants settle into the Geelong area; a well attended Mens’ Shed, open to all; and a monthly Repair Cafe organised by our Environment Action Group. 

We are also building our knowledge of Mental Health and Wellbeing as we support people in our own community and our wider community of Highton and surrounds.

Through our Men’s Shed, Community garage sales and Refugee support, we’re able to ensure that furniture and goods otherwise destined for landfill are repaired in good order and distributed to people who arrive in Geelong with nothing but the clothes they wear.

We welcome volunteers and the spiritually curious – anyone in search of a place to belong – if you’d like to chat to someone, please contact us on 5244 2997.

Please take the time to explore our website and get to know us better.

St. Luke’s Weekly Sunday Morning Service of Worship – in person

(We’ll be outside so we won’t be able to livestream our service this week.  If you want to watch another service online – see St Davids Newtown https://www.facebook.com/NewtownUniting/)

This Sunday is Palm Sunday – a day we celebrate Jesus triumphal welcome into Jerusalem in the lead up to his death and resurrection.

As it looks like it will be fine we’ll meet up the back of the church site – near the old bluestone chapel.

Like Jesus, we’ll be walking – and reflecting and singing – to end up in the Church Sanctuary to finish. There will be two stops on the way for about 5 or so minutes, and the walk is less than 250m and all down hill.

Please bring a portable chair if you need to sit down when we pause. We’ll have some chairs for those who need a rest, and people to quietly walk with you if you need a companion.

This is an all age event, so bring your family and friends.  It will be different, including a dog (hopefully)!

In line with COVID-19 rules, attendees will need to scan or sign in for contact tracing and observe the current physical distance regulations (thankfully no masks mostly at present).

Please don’t attend worship if you are unwell.  If you would like support or connection in isolation, please contact the office 52442997 or Minister Paul Stephens by email paul.stephens@stlukesuca.org.au
