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

    We are so fortunate to have an active Sunday School program at our church. 

    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. 

    Our High School Sunday School class began on August 9.  This class meets in the old library located off the right side of the Sanctuary.

    Our Confirmation Class for raising 6th and 7th graders began on August 9.  This class meets in the Mary Classroom of the Fellowship Hall.  We are so happy to welcome Caitlyn Hronesz, Marian Lytle, Mark Parrish, and Gerry Smith as the Confirmation Class teachers.

    We also have dedicated classes for our children.  Our children 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.

    Please continue to pray for growth in our Sunday School programs.
