Outreach Ministries
With multiple outreach opportunities available, St. Luke's has something for everyone.

Bring your change on the third Sunday of each month. Our kids, plus your change, plus colorful buckets equals a NOISY offering for God’s works in our world. If you don’t have change, we take the folding money too!

Boy Scouts
St. Luke’s has recently welcomed, and our Men in Mission have sponsored, Boy Scout Troop 355. Boys who are at least 11 years old (or have completed the fifth grade) but are not yet 18 years old are eligible for Boy Scouts. The program achieves the BSA’s objectives of developing character, citizen ship and personal fitness. They meet on Monday nights year round and camp once a month. One of the highlights of their program is cooking and hosting an annual BBQ each January to raise funds for scholarships, summer camps, and special events for the boys.
Room in the Inn
Room in the Inn is a community wide program, run by Roof Above, to house homeless men, women, and families during the winter months, usually in houses of faith.
St. Luke’s has been part of this program since it began in l987. This year we will be hosting 8 homeless neighbors once a month on Sunday nights and will provide a warm bed, home cooked meal, a place to shower, as well as a breakfast and lunch to go.
Those of you who have supported this program in the past are encouraged to step up and help again. If you’ve never participated, please consider doing so this year. There are many ways to be a part of this ministry, and we will need everyone’s help to make it a success.
Men in Mission
The vision of Lutheran Men in Mission is for every man to have a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through an effective men’s ministry. Our on-going programs include leading an annual church service, sponsoring Boy Scouts Troop and Cub Pack 355. Our annual BBQ fundraiser supports these and other ministries.
