8:20 & 11am Traditional
The two Traditional Services are each one-hour services located in our sanctuary. We come together for worship with one another and with God through liturgy, prayer, traditional hymns performed by our musicians and choral scholars, relevant scriptural teaching connected with a time for a children’s message, and once-monthly Holy Communion before the people of St. Luke are sent out as the church into their week on mission. The Traditional Services are casual to dressy and multi-generational.
9:30am Contemporary
This one-hour service is in our gym. We come together for worship with one another and with God through modern Christian music, prayer, relevant scriptural teaching connected with a time for a children’s message, and weekly Holy Communion that integrates liturgy before the people of St. Luke are sent out as the church into their week on mission. The Contemporary Service is casual, multi-generational, and followed by a time of coffee and donut fellowship with one another.
1:00 Swahili Language
This Swahili & French language service is a place for the Swahili-speaking diaspora in Lexington to come together and seek God through more familiar Congolese and African traditions. This service takes place in the Sanctuary at 1:00pm and is open to all people. The services is primarily and Swahili and French and lasts about two hours.
Common Questions
There are four services on Sundays: two traditional services (8:20 and 11 a.m.), a contemporary service (9:30 a.m.) in the Gym, and a Swahili service (1 p.m.). The 9:30 and 11 a.m. services are also live streamed.
Nope. Everyone is welcome at St. Luke. Our community reflects a wide variety of style preference from suit and tie to jeans and flip flops, and our Swahili worshippers like to dress in the colorful traditions of their native countries.
When it comes to our services, we are committed to practical, Biblical teaching in an atmosphere where people can freely worship the Lord. While there is variety among our Sunday services, common elements they share include music, scripture reading, prayer time, testimonials and the weekly message from one of our pastors.
Yes! As we say in our Invitation to the communion table at St. Luke: “Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who earnestly repent of their sin, and seek to be at peace with one another.”
We offer communion on the first Sunday of the month. All baptized Christians, of any age (including infants) and any Christian denomination are welcome to Christ's table. We offer grape juice with wafer crackers, with gluten free elements available.

Kindergarten through 5th-grade students attend the 9:30 or 11 a.m. worship service with their family, and after the children’s message, they will be escorted to the Loft for either Power Hour (during the 9:30 service) or God’s Backyard (during the 11 services).
God's Backyard is our special worship service for Kindergarteners through 5th graders. We have a large group time that includes prayer, scripture, and a children's lesson. The kids then have small group time to discern how the lesson works in real life.
We offer a nursery for those under 2 years old during the three morning worship services.
Preschool children (ages 2 - 4) also meet for activities during three-morning services.
St. Luke offers study and fellowship classes on Sundays for K to 5th graders, preteens/teens, and adults of all ages. These groups—typically between 5 and 25 people—meet each week during the 9:35 and 11 a.m. worship hours. Find a class that fits you on our group page
