Reach: "You Will Be My Witnesses" Acts 1:8
St. Luke’s will utilize a multi-focus approach in relational evangelism to reach as many people as possible. This will include, but not be limited to, personal invitation, media advertising, community welcome through facility use, ministries targeted for not yet believers, special events, and alternative options for worship.

Proclaim: "Worship The Lord With Gladness" Psalm 100:2
St. Luke’s will proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and convey the scriptural truth that eternal life begins the moment a person accepts God’s grace in response to the saving love of Jesus. We affirm that at this moment there begins a life-long journey toward scriptural holiness of heart and life.

Nurture: "Love One Another" 1 John 4:7
St. Luke’s will help people grow in their Christian faith so that they may live to be whole and complete in Christ.  Servant ministers will serve as Christ’s disciples to provide love and care to those in need, in sickness and in sorrow.

Guide: "Grow in Grace And Knowledge" 2 Peter 3:18
St. Luke’s will provide opportunities for worship and spiritual growth that will help develop mature disciples of Jesus Christ.  Through large and small group ministries for children, youth, and adults, the church will offer a wide range of options for faith and personal development.  These ministries will encompass the total person:  body, mind, and spirit.

Deploy: "Do Justice: Love Kindness: Walk Humbly With God" Micah 6:8
St. Luke’s success in Kingdom building will be measured by the extent to which gifted, committed, and enthusiastic disciples of Jesus Christ are deployed as servant ministers in faithful obedience to God’s will, while witnessing to God’s mercy, justice, and love.

Support: "All Things Work Together For Good" Romans 8:28
St. Luke’s will provide the informational, technical, and creative expertise to help all ministries of the church function effectively and with ease as they build the Kingdom by Building Disciples.
