Age divisions are organized by grade and all are coed divisions. Each division will practice and play on a different night, using the I-9 format.

We are always looking for Coaches! Adults who will be a positive, fun, and safe influence on the children of our community. If you are interested in coaching/being part of a coaching team, please select the appropriate boxes in the registration when you sign up your child. If you are registering multiple children, fill out the coaching questions on the child's registration you wish to coach. Coach's meeting will take place on March 26 at 12:30p.m.

All parents wishing to baptize their child at St. Luke's need to register beforehand to attend a baptism class.

Infant/children baptism is offered on the third Sunday of the month at the 9:30 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. contemporary and traditional worship services. Please select the Sunday you wish to baptize your child through the online registration process for the baptism class. Also, email a photo of your child to alarry@st.lukes.org for display on the large overhead screens in each worship venue on Baptism Sunday as well as our St. Luke's celebrates newsletter. 

We can only reserve seats for up to 10 people in your party but the worship venue is open to all. Once the worship service has concluded and a family baptism photo is taken, we ask that everyone vacate the campus. 

Rise Up is an experience for 5^th graders where they will celebrate the milestone of entering middle school.

Students will be invited to a time of fun, connection and food, as they take steps towards owning their faith and identity as a child of God. Students will end their time together with an overnight retreat on church property and will be recognized the following Sunday, April 30 in worship.

Caring for a spouse, parent, or child with a long-term illness, special needs or age-related issues brings stress and unforeseen challenges to our lives. St. Luke's has created a safe space for you to share your concerns, challenges and blessings with others who are experiencing similar situations. We hope you can join us. Take a small break from your demanding routine on Sunday, April 16 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and join Care Ministry lay leaders Lisa Crump and Louise Pitts along with Kim Paredes, Director of Care Ministries, online for candid conversations where you can share your struggles and blessings when caring for a loved one.

Habitat for Humanity builds strength, security and self-reliance through homeownership. 

Due to the continuing support from local community partners, West Orange Habitat for Humanity is able to provide three new homes to three deserving families on Bethune Avenue in East Winter Garden in 2023!

But, we need your help! We're looking for Volunteers to come out and help with painting, wall building, wrapping, drywall, landscaping, caulking, cabinet/flooring installation, roofing work or other construction activities. Your service to building homes means transforming a blighted neighborhood into a thriving neighborhood and promoting the legacy of homeownership for these families for generations to come. Come out and spend a Saturday giving back with Habitat for Humanity!
