ABOUT ST. LUKE
Our Mission
As we seek to honor and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), the St. Luke Baptist Church of Paterson will present the gospel of Jesus Christ in the greater Paterson area through preaching, teaching, worship and ministry with the intent to TRANSFORM men, women, boys and girls into authentic disciples of Jesus Christ who likewise reproduce new disciples for Christ daily (Acts 2:42-47).
Our Vision
The St. Luke Baptist Church of Paterson, New Jersey is "A Church Determined to Know Christ and Make Him Known." We are challenged to develop an intimate relationship with Christ through worship, study, stewardship and prayer. As we mature in our faith, we are challenged to "Make Christ Known" through our individual life-styles and our church's ministry that seeks to evangelize the lost, edify believers, and elevate men and women through socially responsible and relevant ministries.
St. Luke Baptist Church Believes
The Bible to be inspired Word of God, our only infallible authority. (II Timothy 3:14-17)
In the one and only true, and living God who has revealed himself in three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, who are equal in every divine attribute while functioning in distinct and separate offices in the great plan of redemption.
That humanity was created in the image of God; that he sinned and as a result, all men are born with a sin nature. (I Timothy 1:14-17)
That Jesus Christ died for the sins of men and that his death was a full payment for the sin of men. We believe in the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. (II Corinthians 15:20-23)
That the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Bible should have the place of pre-eminence in the church, home, and each person's life.
That man is justified by grace through faith and that all who receive Jesus Christ as Savior are born again of the Holy Spirit and thereby empower us to become children of God. (Ephesians 5:16)
That we are commissioned by our Savior to..."Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." We want to witness effectively in Paterson and all parts of the world. (Matthew 28:18-20)
That in accordance with the Word of God and His promises, Jesus will come again and we will be with the Lord forever. (1st Thessalonians 4:13-18)
That, until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, it is God's will that we grow in mature, followers of Jesus Christ.
