Vision
At St. Luke, we are growing in Christ by studying God's Word and its meaning for us both as individuals and as a church in Columbia, TN. With increasing understanding, we reach beyond our doors and proclaim the Word to make disciples as Christ has commanded us. We believe as Scripture tells us, that "faith without works is dead." Therefore, we go into the world to serve others. As in Christ, there are no boundaries, we seek to embrace people of all ages and stations. We continually evaluate our path, reflecting on where we have been and noting where we need to go, looking for God's guidance and the Spirit's leading in each step.
