St. Luke's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Gladstone holds three Sunday services, each with its own style. The 8 a.m. Holy Eucharist uses Rite I, the traditional prayer book language, and is a quiet spoken service without music. The 9:30 a.m. Rite II service includes Scripture readings, a sermon and Holy Communion, with organ and choir for most of the year; the choir takes a summer break. At 5 p.m., Intersect is an informal, family-friendly service led by a praise band, with lyrics projected on a screen. Coffee hour follows the 9:30 service, and worship is also streamed on YouTube. Confirm times on the website before visiting.

During the 9:30 service, a staffed nursery cares for children from six weeks to age 3. Older children begin in worship, leave after the opening hymn for Sunday school in three age groups from Pre-K through sixth grade, and return before Communion. Seventh and eighth graders take a two-year confirmation program. The Salt youth group serves grades 5–8 and Light serves grades 9–12, with service projects, lock-ins and mission trips, including home-building trips to Guatemala. Adults can join a Psalms study, a men's Saturday morning study, or a women's prayer group that meets Wednesday evenings on Zoom. Outreach includes packing breakfast bags for Nourish NJ.
