St. Luke's congregation originally of Stehle's church, dates from A. D. 1772, when a meeting was held in the German settlement in Chanceford Township, York Co., Pa., to discuss church, school, and community affairs. Mr. Stehle, a
freeholder, and older member of the community, offered the land for a church, school, and graveyard, for which the community agreed to pay seven shillings and six pence per acre. Michael Worm and Peter Schneider were appointed to arrange for the deed. On this land, the community began the building of a church on August 15, 1772. Stephen Stehle was appointed to arrange for the altar, pulpit, and chairs. These furnishings were later made by Casper Seiler. This church was a log structure one story in height. The congregation was organized August 22, 1773.
