Biographical history
St. Luke's Presbyterian Church in Hampden was organized in 1876, as a result of the expansion of the Scottish settlements to Springhill and Milan by the 1870s. Prior to that, people from Hampden belonged to St. John's Presbyterian Church in Winslow (Hampden and Winslow congregation). In 1917, a split in St. Luke's Presbyterian Church resulted in the formation of Bethany Presbyterian Church in Milan. The two churches then formed one congregation, but each had their own Board of Managers. When the union of Methodists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians took place in 1925, St. Luke's Presbyterian Church remained Presbyterian. In 1944, the Church was closed and the building was sold to the Archidiocèse de Sherbrooke de l'Église catholique, which moved it to Island Brook. St. Luke's Presbyterian Church was under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Quebec of the Synod of Quebec and Eastern Ontario of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The Church is governed by the congregation and the church's courts (board of managers and session) in co-operation with committees, societies, and organizations within the Church, such as the Sunday School and the Women's Missionary Society.

Arrangement
The classification of the fonds is based on the file classification plan established by Sylvie Côté, ETRC Archivist, for local Presbyterian Church records. Individual churches do not all have records falling in each of the system's prearranged series, subseries, and files. This fonds is an example, as it comprises only five series out of a possible nine.
