St. Luke’s Episcopal Church Vision Statement

 The congregation of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church has a vision to serve the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit both within and outside the walls of the church building.

 We pledge to:

  • Serve the Community
  • Serve the spiritual needs of the members of St. Luke’s.
  • Serve the fellowship needs of the congregation.
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church is located in the Mesilla or Upper Valley near La Union, New Mexico and Canutillo, Texas . It began as a mission in the early 1900s to serve the pioneer families for their spiritual guidance. Rev. Henry Easter of St. Clement’s Episcopal Church in El Paso, Texas would make periodic visits to hold services in the Central School building, which is now part of St. Luke’s Sacred Grounds.

As the population of the valley increased, it became necessary to build a small church. The cornerstone was laid in 1916 by the Rev. Hunter “Preacher” Lewis and “the little church in the cotton patch” (as it was fondly called) was consecrated in 1918.

COMMUNITY BILLBOARD

Our Barn sales are generally on Tuesdays of each month during the Spring, Fall, and Winter. The biggest barn sale, with the best selection is during our annual Country Fair, every October. The Barn is a ministry of outreach to the community and supplies gently used items at low cost or no cost to families in need. The Barn strives to improve our community by keeping items out of our landfills and in the hands of those who can use them, helping people RE-USE, RE-PURPOSE and RE-STYLE.

Thank you to our Country Fair Sponsors!
