A Century of Faith, A Future of Hope

Celebrating 100 years of St. Luke’s — and the generations still to come

For over 100 years, St. Luke’s has been rooted in the heart of Ballard — a place of baptism and burial, worship and service. Through seasons of growth and hardship, God’s faithfulness has never wavered, and neither has the generosity of the people who have called this place their church.

That legacy is visible today in the Edible Hope Kitchen, feeding our vulnerable neighbors for nearly 40 years, and in St. Luke’s Apartments, whose Grand Opening of 84 units this April marked the first affordable family housing built in Ballard in over three decades.

Now we look ahead. Plans are underway for additional housing and a new worship and service space on the same ground where we have stood for more than a century — a new building with a dedicated chapel, multi-use sanctuary, and classrooms for affordable childcare and congregation programs.

Before construction begins, we invite you to join us on Sunday, May 24th at 3:00 PM as Bishop LaBelle deconsecrates the Chapel on the Feast of Pentecost. We will celebrate the saints who have gone before us, give thanks for God’s presence through the years, and lift our prayers for the generations to come. A reception with archival photos and shared stories will follow in Bennett Hall (fully accessible).

The Chapel service requires climbing stairs; please contact us with accessibility questions.

This will be a time of grief and joy, sadness and prayers— and your presence will make it more complete.

This will be a time of both sadness and hope; of grief and joy; of healing and rebuilding. Your presence — and your history with this place — will make this time of prayer and breaking bread more complete.

Everyone is welcome.
