Welcome

Welcome to St Luke's

Nestled in the heart of Bear Poplar/Mt Ulla, North Carolina, St. Luke's is dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ through worship, prayer, and ministry to our community. We are here for all who…

  • Need the Bible's message and the Christian faith to come alive, make sense and make a difference in today’s world
  • Appreciate worship that engages the mind and touches the heart
  • Seek to find purpose in life and use their God given gifts
  • Yearn for lasting relationships in genuine Christian community
  • Desire balance in their fast-paced lives, a place of retreat where life slows down and is renewed

Will you come to grow, and worship, and serve with us?  We hope to see you soon!

  • Sunday School and Confirmation at St. Luke's

    Our Sunday School Classes are back on their normal schedules!  Following is a summary of the classes we offer.

    Our Adult class meets in the Joseph Classroom of the Fellowship Hall.  They have several teachers who rotate leading lessons.  It is a wonderful hour of discussion and fellowship.  If you have finished high school, you are invited to join this class.

    Our Confirmation Class meets in the Mary Classroom of the Fellowship Hall.  We are fortunate to have Natalie Beck, David Parrish, and Trey Putnam lead our Confirmation Class during our Sunday School hour each week.  Our current Confirmation program started on September 8, 2024.  The focus for this class is on 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. Other students who have never attended Confirmation are welcome.  Please discuss personal plans with Pastor Robert.  Pastor Robert leads a monthly class with the students on the 2nd Sunday at 5:00 p.m. and on the 4th Sunday at 9:00 a.m.

    We are happy to now have dedicated classes for our children.  We gather in the Sunday School area behind the Sanctuary and have a combined opening before breaking into our different age classes.  Since September 10, 2023, we have been able to offer classes for Pre-K through 5th grade.  Please bring your children and grandchildren for Sunday School.

    We are currently looking into a class for our high school students.  Please continue to pray for growth in our Sunday School programs.

    We are back on our regular Sunday afternoon practice schedule after taking a few weeks off.  We are still in need of a few players.  If you have ever thought about playing hand bells, please contact Jody Perrell. 

    We work to play a special each month.  And, of course, we plan specials for Easter and Christmas.

    Please continue to pray and support our St. Luke's Hand Bell Choir.

  • Chancel Choir Practice - Choir Room (Sanctuary Bldg)

    We are back to our regular Wednesday choir practices from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  We meet in the Choir Room behind the Sanctuary.  We are working on several anthems from our old files and really are enjoying re-learning and re-singing these songs. 

    Please join our Chancel Choir at any time.  We love getting together and praising God through fellowship and song!

  • Kingdom Kids and SLY Update

    We loved our 2025 Children's Christmas Program on December 21!!  It was wonderful to see all our children and youth together on the stage in the Fellowship Hall.  And the program on the symbols of Christmas helped us understand why we have various decorations for the season.  Thank you all for helping to made our Christmas special!
