Our Ministries

A church for every generation.

St. Luke's serves children, young people, families, professionals, Deaf worshippers and surrounding communities through its ministries.

Worship, discipleship, home cells, mission, counselling, compassion and practical skills programs run through the week and across the year, each carrying the church's four shared priorities into a different part of parish life.

Missions and Evangelism

Proclaiming the Gospel through missioner training, door-to-door evangelism, school ministry, prison ministry, hospital ministry, workplace outreach, missions outside Kampala and discipleship for new believers. In 2025 the team ministered in schools around Kampala, in prisons including Luzira, Kigo and Kitalya, and in communities in Buliisa and Bundibugyo. The church also hosted more than 300 pilgrims from Nebbi Diocese before Namugongo Martyrs Day.

2025: eight door-to-door outreaches • 13 schools reached • four prison visits • eight hospital activities • 24 discipleship sessions

Cell Ministry

Home cells bring church members together within their communities for prayer, Bible study, discipleship, pastoral visits and mutual support. Cells lead community outreach, care for members during sickness or bereavement, and help new members build strong relationships within the church.

2025: seven community outreaches • a Cell Day attended by more than 200 people • refresher training for cell leaders • the annual Hymn Carol Night

Worship Ministry

Choirs, praise and worship teams, a drama team and instrumentalists serve during Sunday services, baptisms, funerals and fellowships. The ministry also leads the annual Christmas production and Cultural Sunday, and introduced Worship Courts on the first Friday of the month as a time of learning and prayer.
