St. Luke United Methodist is a community based church committed to serving the citizens of Columbia, TN. We believe as St. Francis said, "Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary use words." 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". See our "Community Ministries page" to learn more about these helpful ministries.
We are affiliated with the Tennessee Western Kentucky Conference of the The United Methodist Church.
