Who we are
Welcome to The Church of St. Luke Lutheran!
We are a Christian congregation rooted in the historic faith of the Church, and we are joyfully committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
We are part of the Lutheran Church — Missouri Synod, a Biblical and Lutheran church body that holds firmly to the teachings of the Holy Bible. Within the LCMS, we are also a member congregation of The English District – LCMS.
Rooted in Bayview, faithful to Christ
For decades, the Church of St. Luke Lutheran has been a home for worship, learning, and service in North York. Today, we are a multi-ethnic Congregation with worship in English and in Farsi. We also feature Filipino and Slovak fellowships as a part of our ministry offerings.
Our mission is simple: to know Christ and to make Him known. We do that through worship, community life, outreach and partnerships that reach across the city and around the world.
Rooted in Scripture, centred on Christ
At St. Luke's, our faith is shaped by the Bible and the historic teachings of the Lutheran Church. We believe in salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
