About St. Luke's

To Love, Serve, and Welcome All.

Because we share the love of Jesus Christ, we serve as God's hands in the world. Our hearts and doors are open to welcome everyone.

Our mission

We seek to live like Jesus.

We seek to live like Jesus, trusting the free gift of grace won for us in his death and resurrection. That trust shapes everything: how we worship, how we serve our neighbors, and how we welcome the people God sends through our doors.

Value 01

Love-Focused

Everything begins with the love of God in Christ. We love because he first loved us, and that love sets the tone for the whole community.

Value 02

Service-Minded

Faith takes hands and feet. We serve as God's hands in Richardson and beyond, meeting real needs with no strings attached.

Value 03

Inclusive & Affirming

You are joyously welcomed into full and equal participation, exactly as you are. An official Reconciling in Christ congregation.

Value 04

Disciple-Making

We grow followers of Jesus, deepened in faith through Word and Sacrament, prayer, study, and life together.

Meet the pastor

Pastor Linda Anderson-Little

Life is complicated, and faith should help, not make it harder. Pastor Linda believes God has a purpose for you and wants to help you discover how faith can be real, relevant, and life-giving.

Whether you're searching for deeper meaning, longing for authentic community, or just trying to figure out where you fit in, you're not alone. As a trained Spiritual Director, Pastor Linda helps people experience God in everyday life, not just on Sundays.

At St. Luke's you'll find messages that connect with real life, a community that welcomes you as you are, and opportunities to make a difference. Come with your doubts, your hopes, and your questions. Here, we follow Jesus with love, hope, and purpose, together.

Our tradition

About the ELCA.

"This is Christ's church. There is a place for you here."

St. Luke's is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran denomination in the United States, with about 3.4 million members. Its motto says a lot about how we live: "God's work. Our hands." Together in Jesus Christ we are freed by grace to live faithfully, witness boldly, and serve joyfully.

As a denomination the ELCA holds to forgiveness and reconciliation; dignity, compassion, and justice; inclusion and diversity; courage and openness to change; and faithful stewardship of God's creation and gifts. We belong to the Northern Texas–Northern Louisiana Synod.
