St. Luke's Visioning Statement as prepared by the Visioning Committee with the help of Dr. Carol Sheppard. 

    God is calling St. Luke's to:

              Be steward and leaders of traditional Anglican faith, Biblical teaching and Spirit filled preaching

               Support the baptismal and confirmation vows of each child and adult through mentoring relationships and family programs

                Reach out and connect to our parish family through fellowship, education and prayer to meet our diverse needs

                Be the love of God to the community through works of service in lay ministry

                Seek, welcome and nurture all to grow in their love of Christ

                             Welcome to St. Luke’s Church

                                               New to St. Luke’s ?

          St. Luke’s  Church is a warm, friendly, and active parish in the Diocese of Pennsylvania, in the Episcopal church in the United States.

·        Founded in 1766, a Parish of the Church of England was established in Newtown. They erected a brick building,  but that congregation disappeared- perhaps during the War of Independence when feelings toward anything “English” ran high... cont.

·        Providing traditional Anglican values in both our view of ministry and in our liturgical and pastoral style

·        Worshipping in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, using The Anglican Service Book  and The Hymnal 1982

·        Affiliated with the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes in the Episcopal Church, a network to provide a way for orthodox Episcopalians to stand together in a new unity to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to begin to build a new future for Anglicanism in North America

·        Guided in all we do by our parish mission statement:
To make Jesus Christ known in all that we do.

St. Luke’s  is a community that is committed to…..

the Great Commission, to calling people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, to teaching people how to live a Christ-like life, and to serving others in need.

We welcome all in the name of Christ.

We offer a well-developed Christian Education Program because we believe that it is spiritually essential for everyone to learn not only what he or she believes, but why.

Our musical traditions are outstanding in quality.

We offer many opportunities to become involved in the life and work of the church.

Give us an opportunity to meet you and welcome you to St. Luke's. We warmly welcome all who come to worship our God!  Each day we live is a priceless gift from God, loaded with possibilities to learn something new, to gain fresh insights into His great truths. May we be showered with those blessings as we together profess His Name. 

Whether you are passing through, or looking for a church home, we hope that you find our community welcoming and that you will consider joining us as we encounter Jesus through our use of the Anglican Service Book, which is an edition of the Book of Common Prayer completely in classical language.  If you have a church home and are simply visiting, we hope that you enjoy your time with us, that you feel the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and that you join us again soon.
