Mission Partners

At St Luke’s we have a heart for mission and all Church members are involved in praying, helping and supporting our mission partners. For many years we have partnered with both international and local mission and we gift 10% of our income to this work. We also support mission through our ‘Partnering with Mission Day’ along with other fund raising for individual missions such as Christian Aid and Tearfund.  Each Mission has a representative who is committed to building awareness of their respective outreach at St Luke’s. They will occasionally invite guest speakers from the mission to visit. As we move forward into financial uncertainly post Covid we are in the process of reviewing the shape of our mission support.
