A community where hope, love, and justice empower every generation, fostering equity and opportunity
June 2024, St. Luke welcomed its ninth and first female pastor, Rev. Orsella R. Hughes. Alongside her, her life partner, Bro. Howard Hughes, became St. Luke’s First Gentleman. Together, they lead with a focus on love, unity, and spiritual growth. Rev. Hughes’ first sermon, titled “The Greatest of These is Love,” emphasized the importance of love and community, both within the church and in the broader mission of Kingdom-building. Her leadership is rooted in the belief that prayer and love are essential to the church’s operations and ministry.
As St. Luke celebrates its 99th anniversary in 2024, the congregation reflects on its rich history and looks forward to future growth under Rev. Hughes and Bro. Howard Hughes’ leadership, with the Legacy Tree Project continuing as a tribute to the church’s heritage and a vision for the future. Together, they remain committed to glorifying God and equipping believers for ministry.
