history
The parish was established in 1878 as a ward of the Free Church of Scotland . Initially, the community used a makeshift building to the west of today's church. In 1880 she was one of the first Free Church congregations to play music during Sunday mass. A harmonium was used. St Luke's Church was built from 1883 to 1884. The Scottish architect Hippolyte Blanc is responsible for the design . With the merger of the Scottish church organizations in 1929, the congregation became the Church of Scotland. In 1953 it merged with the congregation of Queen Street Church , resulting in St Luke's and Queen Street Church.
