St. Luke's Episcopal Church is a historic Episcopal church building located at 346 High Street in the Hope section of Hope Township in Warren County, New Jersey, United States. Built from 1832 to 1839, it was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1937.[3] The stone church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 2007, for its significance in architecture and religion.[4] It had been previously added as a contributing property to the Hope Historic District on July 20, 1973.[5]

History and description

The congregation was formed in 1828. Construction of the church began in 1832, and was completed in 1839, with its consecration on October 12, 1839. The architect William Bulgin designed the building with early Gothic Revival style and built it using limestone.[4]

The church is administered by the Episcopal Church of St. Luke and St. Mary, formed by the January 2016 merger of the former parish of St. Luke's with St. Mary's in Belvidere.
