Our History

Our church began in 1976 with 37 members, renting space in a shopping center. We have grown over the years into a congregation of over 1,200 members.

Our first pastor was Rev. Woody Church who served as senior pastor for nine years. Rev. Lindsey Davis served as senior pastor from 1985-1994 and is currently serving as the bishop of the North Georgia Conference in the Atlanta area. Rev. Eugene Strange served from 1994-1999 and then moved on to serve as District Superintendent of the Elizabethtown District.

Dr. Stephen Martyn came to St. Luke in 1999 and served until 2004, when Dr. Debbie Wallace-Padgett was called to serve as senior pastor.
