Luke's Church a few blocks away from our current location at a time when Kansas City was still a small fron

tier outpost. Yet like the city around us, our parish has changed to meet the challenges of the present day. While we worship in an ancient style and in a Victorian Gothic building, our outlook is fresh and new. We are a progressive community that is not limited to one race, socio-economic level, age, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Eclectic and always inclusive, members of our parish share a love of our historic architecture, ceremonial prayer life, and exceptional music program as well as a dedication to social justice.

We're home to various arts organizations and one of KC's best performance venues for music. Our building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
