Hospitality is one of the core characteristics of the people of St. Luke’s Live Oak. I am often left in awe at the level of generosity and warmth of hospitality that exists here. From out coffee hours, adult Sunday School Bible Studies, Food Pantry and many outreach missions, to the way we seek to welcome new-commers, we are a welcoming faith family. The love shared here is genuine and Christ-breathed and it shows.

 

Hospitality is at the heart of everything we do. “Alpha” begins in the fall and is both a ministry of evangelism and hospitality. It begins by showing hospitality to each other with a meal and then moving on to welcoming others to join us in the near future. Alpha is a course that is set up to allow you to ask the questions you have about your faith in a small group; to ask the questions you have on a Sunday and don’t always have the chance to ask. We invite you to join us and be our guest.

 

We also seek to extend this same spirit of hospitality beyond our walls by opening our doors to the wider community through fellowship, service, and joyful connection. It is our hope that all who encounter St. Luke’s will experience warmth, kindness, and a genuine invitation into Christian community.

​

Music, worship, fellowship, and service are all expressions of this calling. Through each of these, we invite others to come and experience the faithful and loving community that gathers here. Hospitality is not limited to a season. It is a year-round calling, lived out in sharing meals, supporting one another, and walking alongside those in need.

​

As we welcome others into our church family and go out into the world with love, we do so knowing that in offering hospitality, we may be welcoming more than we realize.

Come and see.
