St Lukes Episcopal Church

History
St. Luke's was organized in 1873, two years before the appointment of the first Bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky, and just three years before the incorporation of the city of Anchorage. In 1897, the women of the parish organized the St. Luke's Guild, which played a pivotal role in the life and growth of the church in its early years.

On October 4, 1908, the cornerstone of the present church was laid and dedicated to the memory of Bishop Thomas Underwood Dudley, Kentucky's first Bishop.

St. Lukes has been faithfully served by many wonderful priests and deacons. Our present rector (tenth) is the Rev'd Dr. Stanley Joe Smith who has been with us since November 1, 2002. Under his leadership St. Lukes has truly experiences a renaissance.
