St. Luke and St. Peter Episcopal Church is a part of the Central Florida Diocese and is Orthodox/Anglican oriented. It is located in the city of St. Cloud, which is in one of the fastest growing counties in the state of Florida. Our history began in 1892 when a small band of English settlers, spearheaded by Lt. Col.W.E.Cadman started construction of our early church in Narcoossee. In 1898, the building was consecrated by the Rev.William Crane Gray. It was named St. Peter Episcopal Church.The colony of settlers drifted apart and the church stood empty for many years. The mission of St. Luke was founded in 1913, meeting in a social hall till 1930. The Rev.Clayton M. Legge contacted Jane Cadman about using the Narcoossee church and on October 31,1930, the church was dismantled and reconstructed on Florida Ave. The church was renamed St. Luke and St. Peter. In 1970 the church was moved in one piece to Illinois and 10th. In 1990, the church moved from its location in downtown St. Cloud to a beautiful 15 acre campus in the southern part of the city. St. Luke and St. Peter draws people from a large geographic region stretching from Kissimmee to Holopaw and is rich in cultural diversity. We are a multi-generational church which believes our children are our future and we honor our elderly. Our church is committed to giving parents the tools they need to raise children in a difficult world and we offer the educational programs that all ages need to become the people Jesus wants us to be. |
