Building History

The congregation of Saint Luke's United Methodist Church built this complex on a 3.54-acre lot in two periods, the first in 1962 and the second in 1968. A 3,290-square-foot parsonage was also part of the Saint Luke's complex, erected in 1964.

Due its shrinking size, the congregation resolved to consolidate with another Bremerton United Methodist parish in 2008. The Kitsap Sun reported in 2008: "On the selling block are the former St. Luke’s United Methodist Church on Sheridan Road; the church at Fifth Street and Warren Avenue currently rented by Family Church of God Pentacostal; West Sound Unity Church on Trenton Avenue; and Ebenezer African Methodist Episcopal Church on Park Avenue. The former Trinity Missionary Baptist Church at Highway 303 and Winters Road has sold. The largest is St. Luke’s. Noted for its swooping steeple tower and vertical wood sheathing, the 19,700-square-foot church sits on 3.6 acres and is offered at $2 million and includes a parsonage. The facility went on the market in January, when its aging congregation merged with First United Methodist Church on Marine Drive." (See Rachel Pritchett, "Bremerton Churches Putting Up For-Sale Signs," Kitsap Sun, 09/23/2008, p. A1.)

The Iglesia Ni Cristo, Church of Christ, purchased Saint Luke's sometime between 2012 and 2017.
