Why St. Luke's?

8/2/2022

 
St. Luke's 100th logo
or those who do not know, my family splits time between St. Luke’s and the church Nancy grew up at Chapel Hills in Edina. Her church is seeking a new minister and asked me if I would serve as a pastoral reference for their church profile. I was asked to answer the following questions below. In doing so it made me think about my answers for St. Luke’s.
 
We asked similar questions as a part of our 95th Anniversary and they provided direction and guidance these past five years. With St. Luke’s celebrating its first 100 years of ministry it would be fun to hear your answers so we can continue to be a welcoming and growing community of faith, busy making Christ known to the world for the next 100 years and beyond...
 
- Describe some areas of strength in this church’s ministry.
- Describe some areas for improvement in this church’s ministry. 
- Describe a significant experience you have had of this church’s ministry. 
- Anything else you wish to share?
 
Please share in the answers in the comments or feel free to contact me directly. Look forward to hearing from you.

* Long history of a wonderful music program and children's programming, along with meaningful preaching and opportunities for fellowship and volunteering.
* I would love to see more members step up and volunteer in one of the many areas available. There really is something for everyone!
* My participation on a St. Luke's mission trip, was truly life changing. Choir tours and mission trips for my children were also life-changing.
* We're not a perfect church, but we're welcoming and very good at helping people heal from life's painful events.

I think that the church does a pretty good job of promoting and living out its mission statement and core values.
I like that we are a purpose driven church with the pastor's role as equipper and the people's role as ministers.
I like that the pastor allows the church leaders to lead rather than micro-managing them.
I've been touched recently by the love and support of the congregation after the death of my mother.
And I was moved by last Sunday's baptismal rite. Rob's performance and messaging made me feel like it was I who was being baptised, and I remember thinking that the large gathering surely witnessed an example of St. Luke's as "a welcoming and growing community of faith, busy making Christ know to the world."
