St. Luke's R.E. Church was started in 1891 with a small building at the corner of South Street and Central Avenue in what was once a rural farming district nestled in the Watchung hills of central New Jersey.

Expansion in the early 20th century added a bell tower and remodeled the exterior. A new curved driveway led to a roofed porch entrance for the convenience of those new-fangled motorized carriages.

In 1987 a new sanctuary was built onto the opposite side of the building, tripling our cramped worship space.
