History
In 1875, Colorado was just a territory with Indian tribes still living on the land. The frontier was pushing west and Fort Collins, a village of only 200 souls was part of this migration. On the first Sunday in May 1875, an Episcopal mission station, St. Luke's, was established with regular services. St. Luke's was first housed in Tutton's Hall, a small building at the corner of Mountain Avenue and Linden Street. It had previously been a bank building and was even used as a billiards hall at one time. Growth of the city and the tiny mission dictated a move to a new building at the corner of College Avenue and Oak Street. Consecrated in 1887, the tiny stone church in downtown Fort Collins was used for services until parish growth, about 168 communicants, necessitated a larger facility. The church building where we now worship was consecrated February 14, 1965 and we recently celebrated 50 years on Stover Street.
