1104 2nd Avenue Columbus, Georgia

With the opening of this area to settlers, Methodism was here. Rev. James Stockdale, a circuit rider, preached to the people in a brush arbor on the site of the present church in 1828. The log meeting house in 1829 was the first church building in the new town. Rev. Arthur Hammil was the first preacher assigned specifically to St. Luke and it was part of the South Carolina Conference. This building was followed by a frame building on the same site. Under the leadership of Rev. Lovick Pierce in 1836, the first brick building was constructed. Dr. Lovick Pierce was pastor of St. Luke twice in its history and organized its sister church, St. Paul. A second brick building, built in its place in the late 1890s, was destroyed by fire on May 10, 1942. The present sanctuary is Georgian architecture; the portico is supported by graceful columns and a tall spire with a cross on top. The eight windows in the sanctuary depict incidents from creation to establishment of the Methodist Church in America. It was "officially" opened in 1948.
