We are a welcoming and diverse group of people, between the ages of 20 and 40. We hang out, meet up for brunch, throw parties, and support each other no matter what. We typically meet every other Tuesday evening for Pub Theology Club at a local pub.
Pub Theology Club is a community of respect where young adults can explore questions about humanity and the divine without fear and without judgment.
Sometimes we listen to a podcast or read a book and discuss it. Sometimes we ask questions about life and faith. Sometimes we just share what’s on our minds and love and support one another on our unique journeys.
Want to join us? Contact Will Lee for details or just show up at one of our events and introduce yourself!
We accept all and hold strongly to only one idea: that everyone walks their own path in their faith, and ours is not to dictate that path but to help each other along our own.

Holy Saturday Family Easter Vigil with Baptisms
2026-04-04 16:00 - 17:00 | Christ & St. Luke’s, 560 West Olney Road, Norfolk, VA, 23507, United States
Holy Saturday begins with emptiness after Jesus is laid in the tomb. A brief, quiet Liturgy for Holy Saturday is held in the Lychgate Garden. By the evening, the focus shifts to the emptiness of the tomb with the Great Vigil of Easter, one of the Church’s most ancient liturgies. This service begins in darkness, where a new fire is kindled — a sign of God’s active hope. Through sacred stories and the rite of baptism, the service moves from despair to life, culminating in a joyous burst of light and the first shouts of “Alleluia!” Two vigils are offered: a Family service at 4 p.m. followed by an Easter egg hunt for kids 11 and under, and a traditional service at 7 p.m. in the Church, including incense. The day that begins in death ends with the fullness of Resurrection joy!

We’re a parishioner-led group devoted to exploring queer theology more deeply, and how members of the LGBTQIA+ community are not just accepted in the Episcopal Church but embraced in God’s love. We ask ourselves: How does the queer perspective enrich queer theology and our community? All LGBTQIA+ people and allies are welcome. For more information contact Anders “AJ” Nolan.
Join us in the Parlor at Christ & St. Luke’s at noon following the 10:15 service on the second Sunday of each month.
For more information, please contact Anders “AJ” Nolan.
