Childrens Ministries

Overview

(For infants through to sixth grade)

For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” (Psalm 100:5)

The Children’s Ministries of St. Luke's Anglican Church aims to provide a safe, clean, loving Christian environment where every child feels valuable. This involves:

  • Worship at the child’s understanding and maturity level
  • A place to come and learn, pray and fellowship together
  • A place to share with friends.

The end goal is that our children be strong in the faith, growing in the knowledge of God and abounding in love for others in order that they would grow up to be disciples who know Christ and can make him known.

Childrens ministries offers Sunday morning worship programs year round.
