Sam Luke answered the call of God at the early age of seventeen. He began his ministry by preaching on the street corner in a small rural town in Georgia. Since that time, Rev. Luke has reached out to millions in the United States and many foreign countries with a Christ-centered message of salvation, healing and deliverance. Rev. Luke received his formal education from Lee University, Cleveland, Tennessee.
For eleven years, Rev. Luke conducted crusades in churches and citywide trans-denominational meetings, as well as special meetings for his denomination. He is the author of several books and sacred music albums. He served as Pastor Pro Tem and Associate Pastor of the National Church of God in Washington, D.C. for three years.
Sam Luke and his wife, Donna Sears Luke, (also a graduate of Lee University) served as pastor of the Oak Park Church of God in Mobile, Alabama, for eight years. While there, the church experienced phenomenal growth, from 167 in attendance to a record of 1,538, with over 1,000 new members joining the fellowship.
In September 1992, he and Donna moved to Hamilton, Ohio, to pastor the Princeton Pike Church of God, one of the largest churches in his denomination. Under his leadership, a new 4,000 seat auditorium was built on 100 acres to accommodate the ever-increasing number of worshipers who attended the three worship services every Sunday.
On March 7, 2004, Pastor Sam became the Senior Pastor of Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center in the Detroit, Michigan area where the congregation enjoyed continued success for 6 years.
In March of 2010, the Lukes moved to metropolitan Richmond, Virginia to serve as the Senior Pastor of Victory Tabernacle Church of God. Victory Tabernacle's "Victory Today" is seen in 184 countries over King T.V. Network, by millions over Now Network and recently over Precious T.V. reaching 17 African nations with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Victory Today's radio broadcast is aired daily over the Truth Network. Pastor Sam's most recent book is titled "Winning With The Word" and is available at VictoryTab.org.
