Grace-St. Luke's Episcopal Church is an historic church in Midtown Memphis, Tennessee. The church's history dates back to the mid-19th century and the current structure—located in Memphis' Central Gardens Historic Preservation District at 1720 Peabody Avenue—was constructed in 1912. Today the parish is active and is known both for its progressive hunger ministries and its formal worship and music. The church is part of the Episcopal Diocese of West Tennessee. The history of Grace-St. Lukes dates back to the mid-19th century with the establishment of Grace Church in a rented room in what was then on the eastern outskirts of the city, now Midtown Memphis. After the Civil War, returning Confederate Officers founded St. Lazarus Church on Madison Avenue, in Downtown Memphis in protest to the Unionist views of the rector of Calvary Church. St. Lazarus was the site of the marriage of Jefferson Davis' daughter in 1876, but St. Lazarus' congregation was decimated by the yellow fever epidemic in 1878 and merged with Grace Church. St. Luke's Church was established in present-day Midtown in 1894 in a building designed by English architect John Gainsford. More information...
