We are a ‘Three Streams’ Ministry:
Biblical, Anglican, and Spirit-Filled
Here at St. Luke’s we value Healing Prayer, Expressive Worship, Hearing from God today and Caring for Others in the community. These values are expressed in each of these major streams: BIBLICAL, ANGLICAN AND SPIRIT FILLED.
|
BIBLICAL: Everything we do is grounded in the truth of the Word of God as revealed in the bible
ANGLICAN: Our worship is shaped by the leadership of the Anglican church, its liturgy and traditions |
SPIRIT-FILLED: We believe that God moves, speaks and gives gifts to his church today. Through the power of His spirit we are given gifts to heal, encourage, discern and grow in God’s calling for each one of us.
