MINISTRY LEADERS:

>>> "Luke Pastor is one of the kindest, most humble worship pastors I know.  Not only is he a pastor at heart, he is a gifted musician and leader with a heart to lead the local church in worship.  I have watched his life closely through the New Life School of Worship and beyond, and can say with confidence that he loves God, he loves his family, and he loves the local church."

>>> "Luke is a good friend of mine, a man full of life and energy. He is responsible, detail oriented, and a natural leader. He has a sincere love for people, music, and the Lord. He is especially gifted at maximizing the gifts of others and creating an atmosphere more focused on glorifying God than grabbing the attention for himself."

                                                                 Worship Pastor, ONEchapel
                                                                                           Austin, TX

>>>"It is one thing to go through the motions as a worship leader with skill and talent, yet quite another to spiritually impart an invitation to worship God.  Luke Pastor is that kind of worshipper from the inside out with a spiritual DNA to connect with God's people....spirit to spirit.  Rising from that strong foundation come strong musical skills and gifting to match.  I highly recommend experiencing worship with Luke Pastor."  
                                                                                      -- Jeff Kozyra

                                                                          Colorado Springs, CO

>>>"Luke is a gifted musician and a passionate worshiper.  I've met many talented musicians and many passionate worshipers, but there is always something special when those two giftings are brought together in one heart.  Luke's Christ centered focus in worship and life have led he and his family into an incredible place of ministry and service.  His leadership and instruction can be trusted and his passion for Christ will inspire you."

>>> "We have been privileged in our church to have Luke Pastor with us in a variety of worship settings. We have been delighted in each situation with the way the Lord used him and moved among us. Luke has led worship for us in our primary worship services, in young adult ministries, and in youth camps and conferences. We have found that he brings a balance of excitement and Christ honoring focus to each event or worship experience. He is sensitive to the leading of the Lord and respectful of those speaking and in charge of the overall event. His music is fresh and alive but most importantly his spirit is sincere and focused on the Lord.  Luke is excellent for special events, camps, and conferences but also can readily fill a need in a primary worship service.

>>> "Luke is a talented guitarist and vocalist who was a blessing to our church. I served with Luke for two years, and he displayed utmost integrity and love for Christ throughout that time. He is a great leader and a wonderful worship pastor. I highly recommend Luke to lead worship for your church or event."

MUSIC TEACHERS:

>>> "Luke Pastor is a skilled guitarist and experienced teacher. We both work for the company "TakeLessons" which provides yearly background checks and a thorough interview process. Luke is easy-going and patient. He is very skilled in teaching beginning to intermediate students of all ages to play by sheet music, tablature, and by chord charts. While many guitar teachers are 'by the book classical teachers', Luke helps his students learn to improvise in picking, strumming patterns, and chord shapes to be ready to play with 'the band.' As a fellow music teacher, I highly recommend Luke as a private lessons teacher."

WORSHIP TEAM:

>>> "Luke Pastor came into our church when we, as a worship band, were burnt out and hurting.  He helped us all heal and learn to love to worship God in a new way.  His strong leadership, humble spirit, and obvious love for Jesus made it easy to follow him as our worship pastor and helped turn the congregation toward Jesus and His Glory every Sunday.  He and his family welcomed us into their home and made us feel like part of the family.  Most importantly, they demonstrated beautiful faith which encouraged me personally toward a closer walk and trust in my Savior!"

                                                                Worship Leader/team member
                                                                                       Southport, NC

>>> "Luke Pastor is one of the best worship leaders I have ever worked with. In the past, I have had worship leader who were more concerned about the 'show' than truly worshipping. They made playing and practicing more of a job than a way to come closer to God. Luke is different, he makes me want to play with him. I truly enjoyed every time I had the opportunity to play on Luke's worship team. He always picked great songs and had a way of bringing the entire church together in praise. I also had the pleasure of doing a summer church camp with him in Florida. At this camp, every person was standing and singing with their hands life high in praise as we played. It was a great experience to have complete strangers so connect to God through our music. By the end of the first day, everyone there knew the band and loved us. Luke is unlike any worship leader I have ever met. He is truly gifted.
      Luke is also a great friend. He was always there for me when ever I needed him, and still is today. I am in the Coast Guard, and stationed across the country from my family, but Luke made me part of his. On Christmas day, he had me over for dinner with his family and made me feel right at home. His generosity is neverending and forever appreciated."

GUITAR STUDENTS: 

>>>"Luke takes what could be considered complicated guitar methods and music theory and presents them in a way that's easy to understand for someone who has never been involved with music before. His lessons move at your pace, while still pushing you to move forward in your development. My guitar skills increased more than they ever have while working with Luke, and I had several teachers before him. Luke is an excellent guitar teacher, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn or even increase their guitar skills."   
                                                                          --Justin Sternberg, NC

>>> "As a former student of Luke's, I can say that, as a teacher, he brought my guitar playing ability to a whole new level. He pushed me by encouraging my strengths while also challenging my weaknesses. I would recommend him to anyone!"
                                                                            -- Joel Winstead, NC

>>>"Luke taught my son Carson, age 9, for a few months until he moved to Florida. I was at ease immediately with him, which was very important to me. He clearly knows music, Carson enjoyed his lessons and was definitely learning. As far as his teaching style, I'll let Carson tell you... 'He is really nice, he let's you learn at your own pace, and he was fun!" In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Luke as a guitar teacher, our loss is your gain!"
