Born in York, South Carolina, Pastor Luke was raised in a loving Christian home by his parents and his grandparents. He is the youngest of four siblings; Amber, Chance, and his twin brother Caleb. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior on June 27th, 2011 at Eastview Baptist Church in Rock Hill, SC.

‍

At the age of 13, Luke felt a call on his life. He soon preached his first sermon at Woodward Baptist Church in Chester, SC. When Luke graduated from York Comprehensive High School, he went to Fruitland Baptist Bible College. While studying at Fruitland, Luke was preaching at every church that would allow him to come and speak. A year later, Pastor Luke met Chyloe. They both saw in each other a zeal for the Lord and a mutual love for each other.

When Luke Graduated Fruitland Baptist Bible College in 2023, He started an internship with Pastor Keith Hinson at Woodward Baptist Church. During that time, Luke began to learn the life of a pastor. Luke started studying at Leavell College, the undergraduate school of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where he is currently working towards his bachelors degree in Church Ministry.

Through Luke’s pulpit ministry, he was connected with Mt. Zion Baptist Church, in Great Falls, SC. Beginning in April 2024, he helped fill in during the church’s time of looking for a pastor, and in time felt the Lord leading him to apply for the pastor position. In August, the Church decided to vote Luke in to become the next Pastor at MZBC! He and Chyloe got married 2 months later, and they both love getting to serve together in ministry at Mt. Zion Baptist Church!
