About Us

Welcome to St. Luke Lutheran Church!

Located in the heart of Santa Rosa, our church has been a place of worship, fellowship, and service for generations. As a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), we are committed to sharing the love of Christ, growing in faith, and serving our community. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time, returning to church, or looking for a spiritual home, we invite you to join us as we walk together in the grace and truth of Jesus.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our Savior, and the foundation of our faith. Our beliefs are rooted in the Bible, which teaches that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone. We hold to the historic Christian faith, emphasizing God’s love, forgiveness, and the hope we have in Him. If you have questions about Jesus, what we believe, or how to grow in your faith, we encourage you to explore the sections below.

Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to touch lives with the hope, healing, and happiness found in Jesus Christ.

What We Believe

Scripture Alone2025-05-03T00:59:33-07:00

We believe and teach that the Holy Scriptures differ from all other books in the world in that they are the Word of God. They are inspired by God and are the sole rule and norm of faith and practice.

The Triune God2025-05-03T01:00:11-07:00

With the universal Christian Church, we teach and respond to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments.

Salvation by Grace through Faith2025-05-03T01:00:50-07:00

We believe and teach that eternal life comes from God “by divine grace alone, through faith alone, on account of Christ alone.” It teaches that Jesus is the focus of the entire Bible and that faith in Him alone is the way to eternal salvation.

The Sacraments – Baptism and the Lord’s Supper2025-05-03T01:01:33-07:00

We believe and teach that the Word of God, both written and preached, and the Sacraments are means of grace through which the Holy Spirit gives the gift of God’s grace, creates faith in the hearts of individuals, forgives sins for the sake of Christ’s death on the cross, and grants eternal life and salvation.

The Church2025-05-03T01:02:55-07:00

We believe and teach that the Holy Christian Church consists of all believers, in which the Gospel is rightly taught, and the Sacraments are rightly administered. The Church is the body of Christ, with Christ as the head.

These foundational beliefs guide the doctrine and practice of St. Luke, reflecting a commitment to the teachings of Scripture.
