Pastor Luke Barnett

Pastor Luke Barnett

Luke is Senior Pastor of Dream City Church (DCC), with eight campuses and a church body of over 30,000 people. He is driven by a God-inspired vision to see Arizona become known as a Christian state.

Pastor Luke is a passionate advocate of human trafficking rescue and humanitarian relief. The Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Colorado City Dream Centers, along with StreetLightUSA, now house the world's largest human trafficking rescue and recovery programs, earning a 92% success rate with over 2,800 girls rescued to date, some as young as nine years old.

The Colorado City Dream Center rescues women and children from the polygamist cult led by Warren Jeffs, who is currently serving a life plus 20-year prison sentence. The Dream Center provides hope, emotional support, education, food, identity recovery, and job placement as part of a transition plan, moving victims from an oppressive socialistic community to a healthy, restored, modem economy.

The Dream Centers are also dedicated to feeding and serving the homeless, housing and empowering military veterans, caring for aged-out foster kids, and recovering individuals struggling with addiction. These programs impact over 45,000 people weekly through hundreds of recovery initiatives, food distribution centers, housing, education, and job placements. Even the jails and prison systems are reached with 44 different church services to thousands of inmates each week. Ultimately, the individuals in our programs enter back into society with a 91 % success rate.

Luke has led the outreach arm of Dream City Church to be stronger than ever through ministries that reach locally, regionally, and globally; Thrive, Where Hope Lives, StreetlightUSA, Mom's Pantry, Adopt-A-Block, Celebrate Recovery, Grief Share, and The Dream Centers are great examples of... ''finding a need and filling it, finding a hurt and healing it." The Performing Arts have a special place in Pastor Luke's heart, and one of DCC's longest running events is the annual Celebration of Christmas. Over the past 42 years, this presentation has told the timeless story of Christ' s birth to over 2 million people. It is a Broadway-style spectacle with over 1,000 cast members, flying angels, live animals, and a full live orchestra.

Luke has mentored thousands of pastors and business leaders through DCC's annual "Dream Conference ," filled with practical tools and inspirational teachings. Dream Conference has been responsible for training and inspiring over 200,000 pastors and leaders over the past 42 years. Pastors such as T.D. Jakes, Chris Hodges, and Jentezen Franklin can attest to the life-changing atmosphere of Dream Conference.
