May God help us to live our lives to His glory and honor.

WE BELIEVE: • We understand the Church of Christ to be the people of God who gather around Word and Sacrament. • We believe that faith comes through Holy Baptism and lives are changed by the power of the Holy Spirit. • As an LCMC congregation, we believe we are free in Christ and accountable to each other. • We are rooted and grounded in the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God and the Lutheran Confessions. OUR CHURCH: • St. Luke’s Church was started by Swedish immigrants in 1869. The congregation was first named Lake Ida Lutheran Church and was located north of Garfield. After the church burned down in 1921, the congregation relocated to Garfield, on land donated by the Salstead family. • St. Luke’s is a mother congregation to Calvary Lutheran in Alexandria. • The present 1922 building was added on to in 2007 and again in 2013 to meet the needs of a growing congregation. • We are the body of Christ called by the Truth of the Gospel, enlightened by the Holy Spirit and sent to be the hands and feet of Christ.
