St. Luke’s Chapel
St. Luke’s Chapel is a non-denominational, historical building that serves MUSC for multiple special events and celebrations. It is also a popular wedding venue.
It was originally part of an arsenal built by the U.S government between 1825 and 1832. It was acquired in 1879 by Rev. Toomer Porter for the education of boys orphaned or impoverished by the Civil War. In 1883, it was converted into a chapel and named St. Timothy.
MUSC took possession of the property in 1965, and renamed the chapel to honor the biblical figure St. Luke, the Physician. The organ, kneeling bench, and stained glass windows in the chapel are all celebrated works of art. The chapel serves to enrich the spiritual and cultural lives of all that visit.
