Luke Proctor
Senior Minister
Luke Proctor grew up in Joplin, Missouri, where he developed a love for Jesus and the St. Louis Cardinals (in that order).

Together, they moved to Hendricks County and joined the Plainfield Christian Church family in August of 2017.
Since then, God has blessed them with three sons: Judah, Calvin, and Wesley. Their house is a beautiful mixture of laughter, blood, love, and chaos. On his days off, you can probably find Luke wrestling his boys, playing sports with Rebekah, drinking too much sweet tea, or tinkering on one of his old tractors.
If you asked Luke to describe his life, he’d simply point you to Acts 20:24, “...I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.”
