“A Church Determined to Know Christ and Make Him Known”

Pastor Kenneth R. D. Clayton

Pastor`s Word

We believe it's important to have a new members class at every church. These classes are supposed to be designed to give you a greater understanding of the principles, scriptural and spiritual guidelines that a community follows. The lessons are being outlined progressively in order to help with your knowledge of our church, as well as an overall knowledge of who is The God, what He teaches us and how you can praise His Name and Word

For what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

St. Luke Baptist Church History

The year was 1927; Calvin Coolidge was president, the average annual salary was $2,474.00, gasoline was .122 cents per gallon, bread .12 cents a loaf, the song "Ole Man River" was heard for the first time, and the talking movie was invented. The city of Paterson was known as the silk city of the world because of the many factories here that produced silk products. At this time, Paterson was populated by people of various ethnicities and cultures. Into this diverse and rich culture came the first wave of blacks who migrated from the rural areas of the south to the industrial north.

About St. Luke

As we seek to honor and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), the St. Luke Baptist Church of Paterson will present the gospel of Jesus Christ in the greater Paterson area through preaching, teaching, worship and ministry with the intent to TRANSFORM men, women, boys and girls into authentic disciples of Jesus Christ who likewise reproduce new disciples for Christ daily (Acts 2:42-47).

Anyone who doesn’t feel good about themselfes and those who got lost in life should come meet us at our church – we know what it’s like to be where you are, and we will show you the power of His Word.

I know I am not alone in the universe. I was so lucky and blessed to meet all the wonderful people who are now my friends, and it all happened because of your church. Thank you all for being there for me.

I am really grateful to this church for the support that I have received when my family needed a prayer and a hand of a friend. We found God, and He is powerful. I encourage you to join our community!
