St. Luke's
Park City

St. Luke’s is a progressive, nontraditional Christian community of approximately 250 people nestled in a mountain community a half-hour east of Salt Lake City. We are five years into a recovery from trauma triggered by what could be called a "culture war." It resulted in the loss of 65 percent of the congregation. We are struggling to discern how to grow a congregation in a resort community while nurturing a culture of intentional hospitality and intellectual freedom.

Our mission is "to recognize the unity of all things in God and to act as agents of reconciliation in the world."

Our vision for the future includes the development of our community life around the following eight principles: a celebration of the wisdom of Jesus as well as that of the other great wisdom traditions of the world; an emphasis upon diversity of spiritual practice; an unwavering commitment to touch the lives of those outside our congregation with compassion and love; a flourishing of the ministry of the laity; a commitment to numerical as well as spiritual growth; a determination to move toward financial health and independence through teaching and embracing the spirituality of abundance and generosity; the development of a partnership with the congregation of the Unity Spiritual Center of Park City; and a strengthening of our ministries to children and youth.
