History of St. Luke's Church
Building the Church
The church building you see today was officially opened on October 18, 1906. This date is also known as St. Luke's Day. The Bishop of Derby, a very important church leader, dedicated the building.
The church cost about £4,000 to build back then. This was a very generous gift from a lady named Mrs. S. Wood, who lived in Moorfield.
The Church Community
Part of Whitfield Parish
St. Luke's Church is part of a larger church community called Whitfield Parish Glossop. It works together with another church nearby, St James' Church Glossop. Both churches are part of the Diocese of Derby, which is a big area managed by the Bishop of Derby.
Church Style and Location
St. Luke's Church follows an "evangelical" tradition. This means it focuses a lot on the Bible and sharing the Christian message. The church is easy to find on Fauvel Road. It's only a short walk from the center of Glossop town.
