St. Luke’s (Old Williams) Lutheran Church traces its origins to the days of colonial America prior to the American Revolutionary War. The first Lutheran congregational records were started in 1740. Church records indicate that Rev. Henry Melchoir Muhlenberg, the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in America, preached at St. Luke’s on July 1, 1770.

In 1755 the church moved to its present location at the corner of Church Road and Raubsville Road. The cornerstone of the current building was laid in 1813. The Sunday school addition to the church building was built in 1969. From 1844 to 1955, St. Luke’s was a union church, one that served both Lutheran and Reformed congregations.

Over the years, St. Luke’s has been served by called, full-time ordained ministers, itinerant lay ministers, and supply pastors. We have worshiped with church pews filled to capacity as well as with pews containing only a small number of faithful members.

St. Luke’s is currently “yoked” with St. John’s Lutheran Church of Williams Township. Our two congregations share a full-time, called pastor as well as a number of mutual ministries. Together we proclaim the good news that God’s love is for all people. We welcome all to join with us in the joy of living out this good news in our church and in our lives.
