St. Luke's/ San Lucas Episcopal Church

Organization Description

St. Luke's is an inclusive, multicultural community pursuing spiritual and social transformation.

Program Information

Part of the joy of St. Luke's/ San Lucas is that there are so many opportunities to find something that is in line with skills and interests you already have (or areas where you'd like to grow!). Examples: Ministry with those who are unhoused (food, clothing, showers every Saturday morning); Community Garden (growing food for local use; new program with unhoused folks); programs with children & youth; spiritual outreach with GLBTQ+ people (with a special focus on youth and young adults); neighborhood outreach with Latinx community; faith-based community organizing with LA Voice.

All students, regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, are open and welcome to participate.

Health & Safety

We are a downtown church with significant encampments of unhoused people in oiur neighborhood, and sometimes on our property.

Working with those who are unhoused, working with people with criminal records, some history of violent behavior, and physical and mental disabilities is common.

Students would need to be comfortable working in the context of a downtown Long Beach neighborhood. When working in the neighborhood, the student would not work alone.

Each student would be assigned a trained supervisor depending on the area of ministry in which they choose to commit their time and talent.
