Join Our Visitation Team: Bring Connection and Care to Our Community!

At St. Luke's, we believe in the power of community and the importance of showing love and care to one another. Many members of our church family—whether due to age, health, or life circumstances—could use a friendly face and a listening ear. That’s where our Visitation Team comes in!

We’re looking for compassionate individuals who are willing to visit fellow members and congregants who would benefit from companionship and connection. Whether it’s sharing stories, offering prayers, or simply being a kind presence, your visits can make a profound impact in someone’s life.

Why Join the Visitation Team?

  • Build meaningful relationships: Forge deep connections with members of our church family.
  • Be a source of hope and joy: Brighten someone’s day by simply showing up and being present.
  • Live out your faith: Serve others in a way that embodies Christ’s love and compassion.
  • Flexible commitment: Visits can be scheduled based on your availability.

Together, we can create a stronger, more connected church family. If you feel called to serve in this way, we encourage you to take the first step and sign up for our Visitation Team. Let’s share God’s love and build a community where everyone feels they belong.
