Interior of 1939 brick church. Vertical view and closeup of chancel area
In a rare vertical shot of the interior of the first brick church, built in 1939, one can see the rafters and steep pitch of the ceiling as well as much of the detail in the chancel area...the altar, the lectern, kneeling rails,the light fixture and 3 windows (not stained glass, but may have been translucent) above the altar. One can see that there was, indeed, a 'side aisle' as well as a center aisle and the door that led to the pastor's sacristy... which had an exterior door on the east side of the building. The hymn board contained the reference numbers of the hymns to be sung and also of the antiphons which were chanted by the pastor and congregation. c. 1940s. A cropped version of the photo, providing a closeup of the altar is also attached. Sepia snapshot, scanned on Epson 10000XL at SLLC, 2011.

Interior of 1957 Church, View From Altar, Photo 1990
View of interior of the 1957 church as it looked in 1990, shortly before this space was gutted for the church expansion project. When the space was later 'restored' there were a number of changes made in this interior. Of note: 1. the balcony (which had been used for choirs and over flow seating) was removed 2. the 'cry room'(divided from the sanctuary with sound proof glass, at the rear) was removed 3. Sections of the original stained glass windows were replaced, but without the small ornamental sections under the window arches or decorative symbols. Instead, the windows in the remodeled interior were surrounded with clear glass to allow more daylight. Some stained glass windows from the demolished north transept were then placed in this (1939) space, as well, and some were inserted in the window openings of the bell tower. 4. The 'narthex area' included 2 small restrooms and a staircase leading to the balcony in the 1957 version of the church shown in this photo. Those interior elements were eliminated during the 1991 expansion.

Interior of 1987 Church, View from Narthex. Photo, 1990
View of the interior of 1957-87 church, taken from narthex, shortly before the transepts (areas to right and left of chancel) were completely demolished in 1991-92 for the church expansion project. Also note that the SOUTH transept (right of chancel)and also the chancel area had been remodeled in 1987 to accommodate more seating. When the transepts were originally added in 1957, the south transept was dedicated to office and storage space until the remodeling was done more than 25 years later.

Interior of Brick Church c. 1987
A view of the chancel of the church (as expanded in 1957) as it looked in 1987, after extensive interior remodeling. In an effort to provide more seating for worshipers, the offices, etc. were removed from the south transept and pews were installed in that space. To provide a better view from all angles of the church, the altar was moved forward from the east wall, the dossal curtain was removed, and a new lighted cross decorated the brick wall. The organ was moved to the west wall of the south transept (from its original location at the front of the nave) to make way for the new pews, as well. This remodeling occurred during the early years of the leadership of Pastor Edwin Rossow.

Interior of the (expanded in 1957) brick church in 1990
St. Luke's brick church (built in 1939 and expanded in 1957) was no longer large enough for the congregation by the 1980s. Under Pastor Rossow's leadership, the structure was remodeled in 1986-87, to accommodate the increase in attendance that occurred as Oviedo and Seminole County experienced rapid growth. The interior remodeling was undertaken as an interim step as the congregation wrestled with the best plan for building a much larger sanctuary and support facilities. To provide additional seating space, the church offices (situated in the south transept until that time) were moved to the now-vacant parsonage. Photos taken in the spring of 1990 reveal that the 1957 chancel was then modified to provide better sight lines for those sitting in both transepts. The altar was moved forward (the pastor would now stand behind it); the big carved pulpit was removed for storage and the smaller lectern was used for preaching and readings; the carved chancel "walls" were removed and new, open communion rails were now placed at the perimeter of the chancel (allowing more communicants to be served at one time); the baptismal font was moved into the chancel, itself. A rare photo, taken from the western exterior door provides a glimpse of the narrow narthex entry, with a staircase (to the right) leading up to the balcony (choir loft). To the left (though not visible in the photo) were a small restroom and storage closet. Another space leading up to the double interior doors was used as a "mothers' room" with glass walls providing a view of the nave. These components of the 1957 expansion were permanently removed during the demolition of the transepts and remodeling of the original (1939)portion of the building in 1991. The "chapel" that remained as a part of the new hybrid structure dedicated in 1993 no longer featured a balcony nor a glassed-in space.
