Welcome to St. Luke’s!

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Lindale is a congregation within the Episcopal Diocese of Texas and the worldwide Anglican Communion, a global fellowship of eighty million Christians with a common theological tradition and history with the Church of England. 

We welcome all who would come to worship with us.  Our regular Sunday service is at 10:00 a.m.  We are delighted to have the Rev. Jim Cook as our celebrant each Sunday. 

Please come and join this friendly, loving congregation. 

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.
