Old St. Luke’s Episcopal Church

Written By Preservation Texas

This Belton structure, originally known as Old St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, is the oldest standing church in Bell County. The building, constructed of limestone rubble masonry, was finished in 1874. A stone bell tower was added in 1956. The church served as a place for refuge and solace during World War II. Since 2009, the building’s exterior has been stabilized, but its interior awits restoration. A future program for the site has yet to be determined.
