CONGREGATIONAL CARE
St. Luke Community UMC’s annual “Prayer Around the Metroplex” is held in September. In 2025 we grew to more than 30 locations around the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Baptism
The Sacrament of Baptism is held throughout the year, on the second Sunday unless otherwise noted. We baptize by immersion and by sprinkling–you may choose your preference.
If you or your child wishes to be baptized, please register online or contact Ellen Martin at emartin@slcumc.org or 214.887.3922.
After registering, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing the link to the mandatory Baptism orientation class, which is held on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. on the Thursday before the Baptism.
Parents/guardians must also participate in the orientation class if the Baptism candidate is younger than 18 years.
