Master Plan PresentationNovember 4, 2012

St. Luke Core Purposes• We focus on our mission: Worship, Connect, Serve, and Grow

in our faith• We envision: spiritual growth, serving our neighbors,

welcoming all, connecting all ages, promoting peace and social justice in the community and the world

• As we begin our 70th year of ministry—we recognize that others laid the foundation of our church and we continue the work for future generations.

• The theme for the building project is: “Building on our Faith”—this will have different meanings for us which we will explore as the year progresses.

Property Team Outcomes

• Were guided by the St. Luke Vision Statement in the development of a facilities plan where we can more fully live out our mission to worship, connect, serve, and grow in faith;

• Collaborated with various constituencies, including neighborhood associations and the City of Portland, to achieve the vacation of SW Florida and SW 46th Streets;
