Children's Ministry

St. Luke's provides age-appropriate childcare in building A starting at 9:45 am* for PreSchool through 5th grade.

Children in 2nd-5th grade explore Jesus’ Way of Love through scripture, visual arts, and performing arts. These children return to worship at The Peace.

Child care for children in preschool-1st grade continues for the length of the service.

*on Sundays with a bilingual 11am service, children's ministries start at 10:45 am

Shower Program

Every Saturday, 7:30am-noon, St. Luke’s continues to provide showers, clothing, and food for approximately 100 of our un-housed neighbors. Our program was able to stay open each week throughout the pandemic due to the dedication of volunteers, and the willingness of the guests to mask. 

In April & May, 2021, we hosted Covid-19 vaccinations for homeless and the community provided by the Children’s Clinic. Approximately 80 people were vaccinated

Our community partners provide a meal each Saturday. Other services include a barber, dental hygienist, a community gardening project which guests can join, and we provide a safe place to leave belongings and charge phones during the morning.

To learn more or to volunteer:

Volunteers are welcome on an appointment basis, as we have teams set up for each week, and must fit volunteers into available jobs. A commitment to one Saturday a month is ideal, but substitutes are always needed.

Contact Gail Mutke at gamutke@verizon.net or 562 439-9496 to volunteer.
