8:30am & 10:45am
Worship is the "Heart Beat" of our life together at St. Luke's! It is a time to celebrate God's presence in our lives,
through scripture, music, prayer, the sacraments and the word. As God's people we gather with grateful hearts to
replenish our spirits, nourish our souls, celebrate our faith and offer our lives to the one who gave life!

| HISTORY |
In early 1958, the Shreveport District Board of Missions wanted to start a church in a growing area of Shreveport.
A parsonage at 255 Roma Drive was made available and Tracy Arnold was appointed to start the new church.
The first meeting place was the Broadmoor Theater, while Sunday School classes were held in the Scout Huts at
the A.C. Steere Park. Rev. Arnold had to carry in a portable pulpit, hymnals, and lights hooked up to an extension
cord. Since there was no baptismal font, the first baptism had to use a paper cup. The new church was
chartered on September 21, 1958. By the end of the year, there were 101 charter members.
In November 1958, they began holding services at Brown Chapel at Centenary. Land for a church site at 6312
Sand Beach Blvd. was purchased on January 8, 1959. Ground breaking on the new church was on May 14,
1961. By March 1962, the construction was completed. An addition was built in 1968.
In the 1970s, the church began to open its doors to allow others … such as LSU-S students, Weight Watchers,
the Sentry School … to use the facilities.
In 1974, a parsonage was purchased at 7505 Camelback Drive. A new wing and a flexible activity/class room
was built in 1976-77. The sanctuary was renovated in 1977-78.

Fellowship Class: organized shortly after St. Luke’s was formed, is for adults, both single and married. Our
lessons come from Cokesbury, the Methodist Publishing House. Annually, special studies for Christmas and
Easter seasons are held. The class meets in the Ben Davis Room.
Genesis Class: made up of single adults and couples (ages 20 and older) who strongly believe that you are as
young as you feel. This class enjoys fellowship activities and is involved in community outreach programs.
Sarah Class: The Sarah Sunday School Class is a discussion/study group for ladies in the church. Issues of
particular interest to women are explored using resources such as the Bible, curriculum materials, and/or other
contemporary writings. All opinions are welcome (and will probably be debated!)
Children’s Classes: Wonderful teachers bring life to quality Sunday school curriculum.
Youth: Youth meet at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday morning in Youth rooms located near the gym.
