Organized in 1869 by Swedish immigrants north of Garfield, then known as the Lake Ida congregation. A new church with a tall steeple was built in 1879 and burned to the ground Christmas Day, 1921. The congregation relocated to Garfield in 1922, on land donated by the Salstead family. The name was changed to St. Luke’s in 1949. St Luke’s is a mother congregation to Calvary Lutheran in Alexandria. The present 1922 building was added on to in 2007 and in 2013 to meet the needs of a growing congregation." So it was built in 1922.
