Accessibility at Saint Luke

We have recently started an Accessibility team here at Saint Luke, with the goal of loving those with seen and unseen special needs. Part of this goal is making sure our church members and the community know about the resources available to them at Saint Luke. Below is a list of accommodations at Saint Luke:

• There are curb cuts to get from the parking lot to the upper or lower entrance of the building.
• Our downstairs entrance is accessible and has an automatic door.
