Rooted in Christ | Growing Community
God loves Leeds. He knew and loved Leeds before it had a name!
God loves our part of Leeds – Holbeck and Beeston Hill.
That’s why we do so much to reach out:
We are so glad you’re interested in finding out what happens at St Luke’s. We are a busy, exciting church.
We pray.
We help people connect: to God, to others and to our community.
We help people grow spiritually: with worship and prayer, with opportunities to learn more about Christian faith, with small groups for companionship and encouragement.
We engage with our community through acts of service, hire of our facilities, practical care, and social justice. We have a range of community partners we work with.
We are particularly concerned about children and young people: those at church, those in school or college, those on the streets.
We offer weddings, baptisms and funerals.
We are seeking to grow the church by planting into other parts of south Leeds.
And we offer pastoral care to anyone and everyone we come into contact with. We love, because we were first loved.
There’s so much to discover about St Luke’s. We have been here for just over 150 years

Hello! I’m Jean-Louis, the vicar of Hunslet. You can call me on 07850 701588 or email rev@pecheronline.org
Jean-Louis wrote this before his ordination in June 2019: “After attending Christ Church Upper Armley for 15 years, it is time for us to move to St Luke’s in Holbeck where I will be serving as Curate following ordination in the Church of England this June.
I was born in Belgium, but over the years have had the privilege to live, study and work in many different countries with my amazing wife, Ruth, who is British. We have four wonderful children and two delightful granddaughters. We love caring for our daughter who has complex needs and spending time with friends and family, here and abroad.
Over the years, I have been a programmer, a holiday park manager, a programme director, a pastor, a business consultant and an eternal student. I enjoy technology, reading and flying. I am really looking forward to meeting new friends and discovering Leeds 11.”
Got questions about life and the Christian faith?
If you’re looking for answers then maybe it’s time to make a Start. Normally run in groups of about 6 to 10 people, each session involves video clips, exercises, group discussion and time for reflection. Each session lasts about an hour and is free to attend.
– What’s life all about and where are we going?
– Does God exist and what is He like?
– Why is the world in such a mess?
– Who was Jesus, and is He relevant?
– What does Jesus’ death on the cross mean for me today?
– How far can I go forward with God in my life?
Start will help you discover more about God, Jesus and the journey of life.
If you are interested in attending a Start! course please speak to us.
