St. Luke's on the Lake Episcopal Church
Share a story
Who we are... Set high on the cliffs of Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, St. Luke’s on the Lake Episcopal Church is known far and wide as "The Church With The View". We invite you to come and see for yourself.
Founded over 50 years ago as a mission church in a bait shop near Anderson Mill Road, St. Luke's has grown into a dedicated congregation of over 400 families, of all ages and stages of life. We know God’s vision for us goes far beyond our view. You may come for the view…and end up staying for the family. That is our prayer.

God calls us to be a community in Christ and to be Christ to the world. The small groups and lay ministries of St. Luke's help us live into this mission. ABOUT SMALL GROUPS Small groups are a place where we can laugh, learn, and grow together, and develop far deeper relationships than are possible within a large congregation. The fun, fellowship, and study opportunities available through the many small groups at St. Luke’s help us to “be a community in Christ.” ABOUT LAY MINISTRY The word “ministry” is derived from the word “ministration”, which is defined as “the act or process of serving or aiding.” “Lay ministry” refers to those areas in which non-ordained clergy, or “lay” people, use the time, talent, and treasure given to us by God in service or aid to others—so that we may “be Christ to the world”. St. Luke’s has a strong culture of lay ministry, with dozens of options available depending on your particular calling. ABOUT MISSIONS Where do "missions" fit in? In this context, the word "mission" is defined as "a ministry commissioned by a religious organization to propagate its faith."' Among our lay ministries are several that are mission-focused. Many of the groups at St. Luke’s serve dual purposes—both as small groups building our community in Christ, and as lay ministries through which we serve others to be Christ to the world. And many parishioners are active in several groups. Where is God calling you to be?

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
