Our History
A place of worship, unity, and community in the heart of New Delhi.
1950 — The Foundation
Laying the earliest roots of the parish.
As Defence Colony began developing into a residential neighborhood, Christian families in the area felt the need for a local place of prayer and gathering. Early community leaders and visiting clergy supported small prayer meetings in homes, laying the groundwork for what would become St. Luke's Church.
