Lighting Fundraiser
We’ve launched a campaign to raise money to improve the church’s lighting.
Many of the lights around the church need replacing and we want to take the opportunity to fit more efficient lighting that will reduce the church’s energy bills and carbon footprint at the same time.
Over a six week period between 27th April – 8th June your donations will be doubled.
Please give generously either by clicking the link below.

30th Anniversary Booklet
To mark the occasion, we had an amazing time celebrating our church building turning 30 on the 13th October! It was a great weekend filled with reminiscing on the history of the church, returning faces, a wonderful service with the Bishop on Sunday, and hopes for the next 30 years. Thank you to everyone who was involved in organising the events over the weekend and to all those who came and partied with us!

About us
We are a contemporary, caring, diverse and Christ centred church, drawn together by our desire to know and follow Jesus. We seek to provide a safe place where all people can find faith, friendship, support and direction, and where we can be inspired to be a blessing in our families, neighbourhoods and networks.
We believe the role of a church is threefold: to worship God, to build community and to equip people to live Kingdom lives which point others towards God. In shorthand, we might describe this as ‘up, in and out’.
Firstly, we are built to worship God. In the words of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, our ‘chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever’. (Up) At St. Luke’s, we enjoy worshipping God! Our services are fun, engaging and relevant. Our musical style is predominantly contemporary, with band-led worship, and our preaching style is informal, seeking to explore what the bible says and to interpret and apply it within our 21st century context.
Secondly, we are built to live in community. As 1 Corinthians 12 puts it, we are one body with many parts, and it’s only as we engage with, value and nurture one another that we can truly achieve our potential. (In) We have a variety of small groups, services and events which seek to build our community. Our home, youth and children’s groups aim to deepen discipleship in a safe environment, and our social groups (walking, table-tennis, dancing, book group etc) enable us to get to know one another, encourage one another and have fun with one another whilst doing things we love.
Thirdly, we are called to be those who follow Jesus, seeking to live as he lived: serving the needy, including the outsider, standing up to oppression, speaking out against injustice, loving our neighbour and, by words and action, pointing people towards God. (Out) At St. Luke’s, we believe that we are just as much ‘church’ when we are dispersed as when we are gathered. We seek to encourage all our members to live lives which bless others and point to God. We also run outward-looking events, such as our youth café, coffee drop-in and toddler group, and are involved with other charities and organisations, such as foodbank, Eco Church, Fledge, Simon Says and Christian Aid.
Our Values
Following in Jesus’ footsteps, we value:
Welcome
God is love. We celebrate and welcome every person.
Challenge
We are called to holiness and discipleship in the power of God’s Spirit.
Good News
We seek to live this out: having fun together, serving our community and loving our world.
