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.”
You are invited to come and join our church plant in Hunslet – the Hunslet Gathering!
We love the south of Leeds, all of it, not only our patch. And we are excited to support other churches reach out into their community with the Good News of Jesus.
If you live in LS10 (Hunslet or Belle Isle), you might be interested in the Hunslet Gathering. You can follow us on Facebook and find out what we are doing.
The Hunslet Gathering meets at the Involve center (next to the library) in Hunslet – Involve Learning Center, Whitfield Ave, Hunslet, Leeds LS10 2QE.
We are a growing community of families and individuals seeking to share the good news of Jesus, grow in numbers and serve the community of Hunslet by planting a new Church of England church.
We gather in the Involve center on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 3.30pm, starting formally at 3.45pm. We start with a few worship songs; hear news from people; share stories; hear a reading from the Bible; think about the reading in more detail (usually in a fun way); around tables we talk and share how the reading makes us feel; we pray; and finally we move into meal time. We ALWAYS end our gatherings with food. We aim to finish the service about 4.45pm, and eat until about 5.30pm – though these times aren’t fixed.
