Welcome to St Luke’s!
We are a growing church family in St Albans, made up of people of all ages and from a wide range of backgrounds.
Our services are relaxed and informal, in the inclusive evangelical tradition, combining band-led worship with Bible teaching and groups for children and young people at our main 10am Sunday morning service.
We also have a short, more traditional service of Holy Communion each Tuesday at 11.30am.
We are an inclusive church - absolutely everyone is 100% welcome at St Luke’s, and we have LGBTQ+ people at all levels of leadership in the church.

Alpha at St Luke’s
We're running the Alpha course at St Luke's from 3rd October.
Alpha is a great way to find out more about the Christian faith and to get to know some other people at St Luke's. We'll have a meal together, watch a video and then have a chat about it. Everyone is really welcome, whether you're totally new to the whole faith thing, or if you've been in church for decades and fancy a refresher.

Shoebox Sunday 2024
We're putting together shoeboxes of gifts for children in Eastern Europe for this Christmas, via our friends at House of Opportunity. We'll be bringing them to church on Sunday 24th November, when we'll have an all-age Shoebox service. For more information about how to put a shoebox together, click here.
