Saint Luke Baptist Church was organized over fifty-five years ago in the community known as Green Pastures. Six people were instrumental in organizing the church, namely, Susie Carpenter, Winnie Comas, James & Leah Dozier, Alex Alexander and Jessie Jones. The Church’s original name was Rose Hill Baptist Church. The original property was sold and a new site was purchased near the homes of the members in Green Pastures. The name of the church was changed to Saint Luke Baptist Church. A one room frame building was purchased and moved to the site at 10037 Northeast 50^th . This building had no modern facilities, however, God provided a means for the membership to remodel the frame building into a block structure. This improved the look and value of the building.

The late Rev. Samuel Nunley was called as the first Pastor. Following him were Rev. Logan and Rev. Ransom Leonard. The late Rev. James Dozier served as interim Pastor before Rev. Willie Nash was called to Pastor. Rev. Nash is the oldest living previous Pastor of the Saint Luke Baptist Church. In August of 1962, Rev. Dewitt Roland, then Pastor of the Saint Paul Baptist Church in Meridian, Oklahoma was called as Pastor.

In July of 1966, a remodeling program at a cost of $11,260.00 was initiatied providing the much needed indoor restrooms, classrooms and a baptistery. In April of 1973 a new sanctuary at a cost of $46,000. was constructed to accommodate church growth. More ministries were added such as: Mobile Meal Ministry, Northeast Concerned Christians Housing Ministry, Bus Ministry, Evangelism Ministry and Prison Ministry. In 1981-1982 additional property was purchased and the present church building was completed at a cost of $300,000. In August of 1991 the Dr. Dewitt Roland Fellowship Hall and two education wings were added at a cost of $700,000.

After thirty-three years of effective pastoral ministry, Pastor Roland retired due to failing health. On August 28, 1992 Pastor Roland recommended Rev. Kenneth L. West as Pastor of the Saint Luke Baptist Church. Rev. West was serving as an Assistant Pastor. Rev. West accepted the call as Pastor and installation services were held October 18, 1992 at 3:00 P. M. The church also voted to bestow the title "Pastor Emeritus" to Pastor Roland. On December 9, 1992, Pastor Roland was called home from labor to reward. Pastor Roland served the Saint Luke Baptist Church faithfully and untiring for thirty years. During his pastorate God blessed the church to grow physically, numerically and spiritually.

Pastor Kenneth L. West, his wife, Sharron and five children became members of the Saint Luke Baptist Church on April 17, 1990. Pastor West has been faithful in leading the church in the service of the Lord. The Saint Luke Baptist Church has continued to thrive in many ministries under the leadership of Pastor West. Ministries such as the: Marriage Seminars, Children’s Church, and Deacons Training Ministry.

On October 13^th 2002 the Saint Luke Baptist Church Family celebrated the 10^TH Appreciation Service for Pastor West and his wife Sharron, the Lord honored and blessed the fellowship with an outstanding event.
