The History of St. Luke's
St. Luke's Lutheran church is a  small, grace-filled, accepting, loving community that has a desire to show the world how much God cares.  The congregation began on a farm site over fifty years ago. St. Luke's,  members come  from many different Bay Area communities.  Half of our members come from non-Lutheran backgrounds.  Our worship services reflect this variety.

We welcome you and your history, open heartedly, as you are, now.

Luke 5:11

"And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him."
Worship 9:00 am
Adult Class "Heath Care Reform" following Worship




















"They have caught such abundance that they can't spare a moment to ask the now-ridiculous question of "Will we catch enough fish for my family to survive?" -- the far more urgent question is "Can we gather enough people to take in this abundance such that it doesn't swamp the boat?" Their lives are forever changed; as Jesus says, "from now on, you will be catching people."

What would it mean for us to hear Jesus' call to a similar transformation?

I'm talking about a personal transformation that can transform the world: I'm talking about LIVING with a deep sense that there is more than enough of "the good stuff" -- the things our truest selves, the people we were made to be in Christ, want, need, and enjoy. I'm talking about an end to the constant, creeping anxiety -- as we worry about whether we have or can accumulate enough to shield ourselves and our loved ones from illness, danger, and deprivation. I'm talking about the kind of emotional freedom and deep peace that comes when we no longer feel the need to worry about whether we can get enough love, peace, or approval."
Sarah Dylan Breuer

"Put down out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch..."  Luke 5:4













"In this week, Luke’s fish tale has me wondering, what do I really believe about the ways that God works in this world? Have I grown fixed in my expectations about what God is up to? Do I have eyes to see the surprising ways in which God moves in the midst of situations whose outcome I think I already know? Is there deep water I need to put my net into—beyond what I can see, beyond what I know, beyond my familiar limits—to bring up an abundance that God has in store? What am I willing to leave behind in order to participate in such a miracle and to pass it along to others? What habits of wildest bounty might God be inviting me to practice?" Jan Richardson
