St. Luke was founded with a strong emphasis on peace and justice.  The congregation’s decision to become a Sanctuary Church in the 1980’s strengthened this commitment which remains at the core of St. Luke’s ministry and witness.

St. Luke signed the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s “Commitment to Peacemaking” in 1992, affirming in Peacemaking: The Believers’ Calling “that God’s peacegiving in a broken and insecure world is central to the message of the gospel.  Therefore people of faith engage in peacemaking, not as a peripheral activity, but as an integral part of their congregational life and mission.”

The purpose of the Peace & Justice Focus Group (PJFG) is to offer education and leadership in identifying opportunities to live out this commitment, believing that justice and peace are inextricably intertwined.

All who share an interest in planning for peace and justice activities are invited to attend the Peace and Justice meetings.

Next Meeting: Monday, February 15, 6:30 pm
