Committed to being safe
Ministry to children, youth and the vulnerable is an enormous privilege. These ministries provide great opportunities to talk to people about who Jesus is and why he changes everything, hence they are immensely important to the life of a Church. With these ministries to children, youth and the vulnerable comes significant responsibility, so at St Luke's we are committed to ensuring that we are an environment that is safe for those in our care.
All of our youth programs come under the oversight of our Youth Minister, Nathan Gray and are lead by trained volunteers who have completed Safe Ministry training and are up to date with the NSW government guidelines in relation to obtaining a Working with Children Check Number.
