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.
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 visit our Website 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.
At St Luke’s we believe that Jesus came to bring life in all its fullness. And we would love you to explore with us the person of Jesus, what he teaches us about God and how he came to save us.
We also believe that God reveals himself in the Bible, so we also encourage people to read and learn from the Bible themselves and with others.
There are a number of ways we do this at St Luke’s:
Whatever your background, you are so welcome at St Luke’s – every person who comes here is an important part of who we are.
There are lots of ways of connecting to our community here – whatever stage you are on your faith journey. To the left are some of the ways you can connect with people in the church. Keep an eye on the church calendar for updates on when each of these is happening, or contact us for any more information.
