Welcome ! And thank you for checking out the St. Luke’s Community Church website.   My name is

Jeff Chewning. My wife, Ashley, our daughter, Evelyn, and I, are all excited to be a part of St. Luke’s Community Church.  Outside of pastoral ministry I enjoy playing instruments, singing, and listening to music.  Grilling is also a relaxing past-time which makes for a good lunch or dinner as well. As a family, we really enjoy hiking and spending time together outside at parks. We are excited to explore this beautiful area of central North Carolina, having lived and served near Salisbury, NC most of our lives.

I started my ministry at St. Luke’s in January 2025. My family and I enjoy being a part of this loving and

servant-hearted congregation, as well as learning about and living in the Burlington community.

I did my undergraduate studies at Pfeiffer University, Misenheimer, NC majoring in Christian Education and minoring in music with a focus in Church Music. I later studied and graduated from Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA with a Masters of Divinity.  I have collectively been on church staff teams for 15 ½ years prior to coming to St. Luke’s. My ministry has focused on music/the arts, adult education/small group ministry, 

and pastoral care. I am excited to now be the lead pastor at St. Luke’s. 

My greatest joy in serving as a Pastor is seeing lives changed through Jesus Christ. I look forward to working together with the people at St. Luke’s to further God’s Kingdom for His glory!

I hope to see you at St. Luke’s soon!

-Pastor Jeff
