SUNDAY SCHOOL
Children are a blessing and they are being entrusted to us by God. As nurturers we take care, prune & create in them a new heart to submit them as a holy sacrifice to God.
The Sunday class of our church has an archaic history. Initially it was conducted by the doctors of JIPMER who taught multi linguistic songs and memory verses. Then we had men and women of God from our church who dedicated themselves to teach our children the Word of God.
Today by the grace of our Lord we have Sunday class sessions with music, songs and learning. Children are split into various classes according to their age and the Diocesan syllabus is taught to them along with practical real-world incidents.
The Evening Service of the 3rd Sunday of every month is conducted by the Sunday School Teachers and Children.
We welcome the parents to send their children to the Sunday School regularly.

YOUTH FELLOWSHIP
Youth are the pillars of our future Church and Society. It is in this prime time of life that we often involve in making various important decisions of our lives. Our Lord Jesus Christ started His divine ministry as an youngster. According to Psalm 119:9, as youngsters we cleanse ourselves by God’s Word. The Youth Fellowship of our church is named as ‘Ecclesia’. Young People gather together on every Sunday after the English service in the church premises to worship and meditate on the Word of God. Every 2nd Sunday of the month, youth fellowship members lead and conduct the evening service. We invite all the youngsters to come and be a part of our fellowship to know more of Christ and to stand as a witness for Him.

YOUNG COUPLE FELLOWSHIP
Marriages are made in heaven. Marriage is a sacred and beautiful institution arranged by God for men and women. The purpose of marriage is not only for procreation but fellowship, companionship and mutual help & comfort. In this modern era, Christian marriages are also in greater threat. Young Couple’s Fellowship is a new initiative started in CSI St. Luke’s Church for couples who are below 45 years of age. The main objective of this group is to develop and restore Christ-centered Christian marriages and families. We invite the young couples of the Church to be part of this new endeavour for the glory of God.

WOMEN FELLOWSHIP
Women are powerful instruments used by God in the Bible. According to Proverbs 14:1, “A wise woman not only builds her home but also the church ministry & a society at large.” The women of our Church have involved themselves in almost all the activities of the Church. Especially, they are the ‘Prayer Warriors’. They come together every Tuesdays in the church to pray and meditate on God’s Word. Every 1st Sunday of the month, women’s fellowship leads the Evening Service. They are also active participants of the village ministry, sick people home / hospital visits. We encourage all the women to come and be a part of the fellowship and serve God.

MEDICAL FELLOWSHIP
The healing ministry of Jesus Christ is holistic in nature; it includes the spiritual, physical, emotional and social healing. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is the source of every healing. It is the ministry often seen as the Church’s response to the mandate of Christ Jesus to preach the gospel and to heal the sick. In CSI St. Luke’s Church, 75% people are serving in medical fields as Doctors, Nurses, Allied Professions, and in Hospital Administration. The CSI St. Luke’s Church was founded with the efforts, visions and prayers of the JIPMER Medical Staff prayer fellowship in 1967. By revisiting the history, on the 6th May 2018, we have started this fellowship for all medical staffs in the Church. It has named as Ropheka Medical Fellowship. Every third Sunday of the month, group of Medical Staff gather in the Church at 11:00 AM regularly and engage themselves in praying for the sick.

CHOIR
Our Church’s Choir has started it’s journey right from the time it was a chapel. Back then it was with a small harmonium; then to a pump organ which used to be played by the choir master. The choir members were the ‘Nightingales of Jipmer’. Today as a gift of God, we have an immaculate choir with latest keyboard being played by the choir master & the children of our church accompanying the music by playing the violin & keyboards. The choir Lukan Chorale leads the church songs during the services & exhibits it’s awesomeness especially during the festive seasons. We praise our God Almighty for the talents he has bestowed on our choristers. Hoping the ‘Lukan Chorale’ to continue its melodious journey & win more souls for our Lord Jesus Christ.
