Here you will find food for your soul and here you will drink the cup of new life.
Welcome to St. Lukes, a 130-year-old start-up in the heart of Ballard! We draw on ancient Christian practices of worship, prayer and service in a rapidly changing world. Most of our 100 members have become part of the community in the past 5 years. Despite the limitations imposed by COVID-19, we continue to live out our vision, “to form Beloved Community, which is welcoming and diverse, with Christian worship and service at the heart.”
We are a gathering place for rich and poor, housed and unhoused, young and old, those familiar with Episcopal tradition and those with no church background at all. We enthusiastically affirm the participation of women and the LGBTQIA+ community in all sacramental rites, membership, and leadership.
For ways to stay connected or to get involved you can view our list of links below or sign up for our newsletter below.
We gather for worship in person and via Facebook Live every Sunday at 10:00 am. Masks are strongly recommended, not required. We have installed air filtration units to ensure that the air in the sanctuary is turned over regularly.
