ST LUKE’S MISSIONAL PARTNERS.
Sharing in God’s work beyond our church community.
We believe God is at work in the world, drawing all things towards life, justice, and restoration. Our missional partners are people and organisations we walk with as we share in that work beyond our church community.
INTRODUCING OUR MISSIONAL PARTNERS
We have six long-term missional partners whom we support in an ongoing way. We journey with them through regular updates, prayer, and financial giving at our annual gift day in October.
Each year, we focus more closely on two of these partnerships, while continuing to support all six as part of our wider commitment. This year our Focus Partners are LUX and Five Talents, and we are enjoying the opportunity to get to know them more deeply.

ONE-YEAR PARTNERSHIPS
Alongside our long-term missional partners, St Luke’s is committed to remaining open to new directions, extending our support beyond what we already know, and discerning together when, if, and how new partnerships might begin to take shape.
Each year, we therefore make space for a one-year partnership with a new charity. Often there is already some connection with St Luke’s in place, but this provides an opportunity for that relationship to be explored, strengthened, and nurtured over time.
If you are connected to a charity, through its work, vision, or mission; whether as a volunteer, trustee, or someone who has been directly impacted by its work and you sense that St Luke’s as a community might grow through a partnership, we would love to hear from you.
