OUR BELIEFS

St. Luke's St. Louis is a United Methodist Church.

We're part of the Wesleyan tradition, founded in the theology and practices of John Wesley and the hymns of Charles Wesley.

St. Luke's creates ministries that inspire imitation of Jesus Christ and community engagement that partners with God to improve our world.

St. Luke's St. Louis intends to do no harm, do good with God's help, and to grow in love with God through worship, the sacraments of Holy Communion and Holy Baptism, prayer, Bible study, spiritual disciplines, fellowship, and acts of service.

Sacraments

As a United Methodist Church, St. Luke's St. Louis celebrates two sacraments: Holy Baptism and Holy Communion. The sacraments are offered to all who wish to receive God's grace. The first Sunday of every month St. Luke's St. Louis opens the Table of Holy Communion to any and all who wish to receive the sacrament. Holy Baptism is offered to families with infants, and to children and adults who have never been baptized.
