About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
St. Luke's is one of our town's oldest churches.
We can trace our congregation back to 1736. Our official foundation was November 29, 1841, and the church was built in 1842 - 1843. The spectacular stained glass windows are primarily the work of Charles Booth (1844-1893).

The Graveyard has headstones dating from the 1843, and many famous Lincolntonians are buried there. There is a detailed account that is well worth reading in the
St. Luke's Historic Preservation brochure.

"Luke, the beloved physician, greets you." Colossians 4:14
Saint Luke the Evangelist (born Antioch, Syria, Roman Empire; died March 84AD near Boeotia, Greece) is one of the four traditionally-ascribed authors of the Gospels. Early church fathers believed he wrote both the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles, which would mean Luke contributed over a quarter of the New Testament-- more than any other author. St. Luke is the patron saint of artists, physicians, bachelors, surgeons, students and butchers! His feast day is held on October 18th.
Music, Art and History
With St. Luke being the patron saint of artists, it is no surprise that many of our members are active in the arts.
Some of the local events we have hosted or participated in include:
The Annual Apple Festival
The Annual Arts Crawl
Art Exhibits
Cemetery Walks
Concerts
Summer Music Camp
