Need Support? We are here for you.

St. Luke’s is a church where compassion is more than a feeling. Our clergy are available to talk and pray with you when you are experiencing grief, a difficult family situation, an illness, or when you are struggling with another challenging life event. To talk to a pastor, call 713-626-1927. Below are other resources available through St. Luke’s.

Grief Support

For some, it is the loss of a spouse. For others, it is the loss of a parent, a sibling, or a child. The pain is intense, and each person has a unique story. There are no quick fixes. No one ever gets over the loss of a loved one. Ever. But working on your grief, leaning into the pain, is worth the investment. Our church will offers a Christian-based GriefShare Support classes led by Rev. Cliff Ritter, pastor of Caring Ministries. The class will meet weekly, in person, at St. Luke’s for 13 weeks. Let your grief speak to you. If you feel this is the right time, contact Shelley Quillin at 713-402-5033 and she will tell you about the next class starting in September. Groups are offered to the public. You do not need to be a church member to participate.

Divorce Care

DivorceCare’s life-changing support groups welcome people and guide them on the path of recovery after separation or divorce. Email Susan Silvus for more information about the next group starting in September.
