St. Luke's Anglican Church is a Biblically-orthodox Anglican parish belonging to the Diocese of Western Anglicans in the Anglican Church of North America. We affirm Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and we acknowledge the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. We combine the tradition and teachings of the worldwide Anglican Communion with a Spirit-led evangelism evident in our worship as well as many local and international outreach activities.

Our Beliefs

We teach that God. . .

1. Has created and is sustaining all that exists and whose truth is revealed to us in the Holy Bible.
2. Has entered human history in the crucified and risen Savior, Jesus of Nazareth.
3. Works through the church for the redemption of creation by the power of the Holy Spirit.
4. Changes lives through the Gospel of Christ, calling Christians to lives of:
   • continuing  renewal
   • discovery of new ways to communicate and live out the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world.
   • welcoming and witness to all no matter where they are on life's journey of faith.
   • practicing compassion and justice as signs of Christ's presence in the world.
5. Has provided a foundation for life and ministry in the Holy Scriptures and the historical witness of the Christian church – especially in the ecumenical Creeds.

Our Mission 

Encountering Christ, Transforming Lives, Demonstrating Love

We Encounter Christ in his Holy Scriptures, in his Holy Sacraments and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Affiliations

St. Luke’s is a member of the Diocese of Western Anglicans within the Anglican Church of North America, and is part of the historic, worldwide, missionary family of Christians known as the Anglican Communion.

Our History

In the early 1920’s, S. Seymour Thomas, a local artist with an international reputation, called people together to share his vision of establishing an Episcopal Church that would be part of the Anglican Communion in the Crescenta Valley.  As an artist might do, he painted a picture of the dream church that he thought would look well and appropriate to the mountains and nearby structures. All at the gathering were enthusiastic over it. The cornerstone was laid on Easter Sunday 1924 and the first services were held at St. Luke’s of Christmas that same year. Over the years, St. Luke’s of the Mountains has had eight pastors, planted two churches, done mission outreach in twenty countries and is known for its ministry locally, nationally and internationally. St. Luke’s is a dynamic and loving congregation – a local church with a world vision – that is built on the ministry of its people in faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his word.
