Welcome
We are looking to create an outdoor prayer space at the front of the Church under the arches, featuring work by Charlie Mackesy. We have to issue a notice about this. Click here for further details.
Re- Opening the Church Building
Your safety is of paromount importance therefore we are working to get our building ready to welome you in person.
It is our hope to resume physical services in our building on 6th September 2020.
We hope to hold open air services during August, but in light of the rise in infections in Luton we are putting this on hold until guidance from Luton Council changes.
Our building may be closed but our church is alive - for we are church where we are scattered. Our commitment at St Luke’s is to be the church that cares, following the example of Jesus. We are therefore committed to caring for our community during this time, through prayer, support, as well as recommending ways that you can connect with worship.
Our response to Covid-19:
Support team – We now have a small support team and we will do our best to help local people in need. Please call or text 07879 481 693 if you or anyone that you know needs assistance.
Prayer line – We have a team that are committed to praying for you. If you have any special prayer requests please text 07879 481 693.

St Luke's is an Anglican Church located in north Luton.
Our vision is to be 'a joyful, generous and accessible church, where people encounter Jesus and lives are transformed'. We seek to do this by being the church that CAREs. A church that cares about our relationship with God, with one another and with the wider community and the environment.
