About Us

St. Luke's is a welcoming, outward looking and growing local church in the Royal Docks at the heart of London's East End. We have a vision for serving the needs of our changing community that has led to action in the work we now undertake. St. Luke's is a diverse church family with people from all ages, cultures and backgrounds. St. Luke's is an Anglican Church serving the parish of St. Luke's, Victoria Docks in London's East End. We are part of the Church of England serving East London within the Deanery of Newham and Diocese of Chelmsford.

St. Luke's Congregation has grown twenty fold in the past twenty years. Including children we now expect to have about a hundred in church each Sunday. Over 90% of our church membership come from ethnic minority backgrounds, which is a joy and perhaps something of a glimpse of heaven!

We have a weekly Sunday School as part of our Sunday Morning worship programme for children. King's Kids is open for all children in Reception to Year 6. We have full creche facilities too. 

We have a fantastic youth group and have weekly youth activities both mid week and on Sundays. We have Sunday morning sessions for our young people too and most weeks expect to have 14-20 teenagers in church. 

We use the school hall for Sunday Worship at 10.30 a.m. where we enjoy Stained Glass Windows of the Apostles by Kemp, that came to us from the Royal Marine Chapel at Deal in Kent when it closed. St. Luke's has modern lighting, heating, seating and PA, which help us to get the most from our building and our worship. We are fully accessible to the disabled.

We also have  mid week `connect groups providing opportunities to connect with one another, connect with God and to connect over Scripture. We have day and night time options and an online connect group available too throughout the year. St. Luke's has helped to set up a range of Community Projects that happen each week. We are continually seeking to respond to the needs of our community in new ways and are always open to new ideas. 

The community work that St. Luke's Church has helped to set up, has a reputation for being both innovative and value for money. If you would be interested in supporting St. Luke's, as we seek to serve our very needy community, we would be pleased to hear from you.
