Women’s Ministries

Women of St. Luke
Connecting Women with Christ and Each Other

Our Purpose Statement:
As a community of women
created in the image of God,
called to discipleship in Jesus Christ, and
empowered by the Holy Spirit,
we commit ourselves to
grow in faith,
affirm our gifts,
support one another in our callings,
engage in ministry and action, and
promote healing and wholeness
in the church,
the society, and
the world.

Our Mission Statement:
To mobilize women to act boldly on their faith in Jesus Christ.

All St. Luke women also are members of Women of St. Luke. Circle chairpersons serve as board members and two members-at-large also serve on the board. Board meetings are held the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 9:30am in the Upper Shalom. All women are invited to attend.

Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church

Women of St. Luke is part of the larger church organization, WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church) through use of program materials, participation at events, and monetary support.
 

The WELCA Symbol

The symbol—with the cross, water and a white lily—identifies the women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America as children of God; baptized, forgiven, adopted into God's family, full of grace and hope in eternal life. It is a reminder of the growth, beauty, and vitality that rises out of that life-giving baptismal water. It is also a reminder of the mission of the church to "Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).
