WELCOME

Founded in 1885, St. Luke's is the oldest parish in the Episcopal diocese of Southwest Florida.

Our vision is to be an abiding witness in our community to the love and saving power of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

​

Our mission is to worship God in the Anglican tradition of the one holy catholic and apostolic church, availing ourselves of the means of grace and awaiting our hope in glory.

WHY DO WE DO THAT? Have you ever wondered why we stand, sit, kneel, bow, use incense, ring bells, wear certain colors, or say specific words every Sunday? Now is your chance to ask! Join your church family and friends of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church for GROUNDS FOR THEOLOGY, a lively Q&A session exploring the meaning behind our worship, traditions, and rituals. You ask the questions, and Fr. Jeff Hanson will provide the answers. To participate, pick up a 3x5 card from the welcome table near the church office, write down your question, and place it in the basket. Questions will be answered on Sunday afternoons at 3:00 p.m. when we meet for GROUNDS FOR THEOLOGY on November 1, 15, and 29, at Chocolattes, 16120 San Carlos Boulevard. Come ready to learn, discover, and have some fun along the way!

 

​OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD:  “Let the little children come to me…” Matthew 19:14    
As we prepare to celebrate the Nativity of our Lord, we have a beautiful opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus by participating in Operation Christmas Child. Each shoebox we pack is more than a gift—it is a tangible expression of God’s love and an opportunity for a child to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Please stop by the Daughters of the King (DOK) table in the Parish Hall during coffee hour on Sunday, November 8. We will have shoeboxes, information, and DOK members available to answer your questions and help you get started. If you have questions or need assistance, you may also contact the church office at (239) 334-2479. The final collection date is Sunday, November 22.

OUR LEASE OPTION IS STILL AVAILABLE:   In an effort to expand our ministry, with the help of Mayhugh Commercial Realty, we are making classroom and office space available for lease (NOT FOR SALE!).  The leasing option is being promoted on the realtors’ website.  This would be an ideal facility for a private school, day care, expanding church ministries or adult education.  Please pray that we’ll have success as we consider leasing opportunities. 

Listen to Our Latest Sermon: Proper 24; October 18, 2026

Today is the Feast of Saint Luke, the patron saint of our parish. Fr. Jeff celebrates the occasion by preaching on the communion of the saints, on what it means to have a patron saint, and some of the unique aspects of Luke's work as an evangelist.
