Like Planet Fitness we are a No-Judgement Zone. No matter where you've been or where you are going, or what kind baggage you've picked up along the way, join us in cleaning the dirt off our souls.
We believe as St. Francis stated, "Preach the Gospel always, and sometimes use words."
St. Luke United Methodist is a community-based church committed to serving the citizens of Columbia, TN. We are service oriented, supplying food to the homeless and needy, supporting local alcohol and drug recovery ministries, and supporting a local dental ministry for low-income patients. We partner with other ministries supplying financial and physical support in their area of expertise. We cannot do everything, but we can assist other ministry programs in their "call". We are affiliated with the Tennessee Western Kentucky Conference of the The United Methodist Church.

Our Beliefs
We believe in the one true, holy and living God, Eternal Spirit, who is Creator, Sovereign and Preserver of all things visible and invisible. He is infinite in power, wisdom, justice, goodness and love, and rules with gracious regard for the well-being and salvation of men, to the glory of his name. We believe the one God reveals himself as the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, distinct but inseparable, eternally one in essence and power.
