History
The story of St. Luke’s began in 1991 when a group of Episcopalians living in the area started meeting together in homes. A priest from Christ Church in Tyler came to officiate communion services. In time, the group rented space in a building in downtown Lindale. By 1997, the Episcopal Diocese of Texas based in Houston gave the congregation the approval to build, and a purchase of 12 acres on FM 849 was made. The church was built in the shape of a cross with a bell tower.
A gift was made of a set of three beautiful stained-glass windows. They were originally part of an Anglican church built in the 1600’s in London. The church was bombed in World War II, and only a wall with the three windows, now set in the wall behind the altar of St. Luke’s, remained.
