St. Stephen Lutheran Church  was started as the "Aurora Gardens Lutheran Mission" in April, 1954.  One year later, lots at the corner of Berkley and Sullen were purchased for buildings  which  now  include a sanctuary/office building  (pictured) built in 1976, a Sunday School  classroom  building and the original sanctuary/fellowship hall which now house a fellowship hall, nursery and youth meeting    room.

In its history St. Stephen has had seven pastors and two assistant pastors guiding its members  in  their  spiritual  growth  and  giving  care  and  support in the various life circumstances that church   and community members face.  Pastor Mark Hayman was installed as pastor in September, 1999.

St. Stephen  is  a   member  of  the United Churches of Algiers, enabling  assistance to the community through a single source.

The St. Stephen family enjoys a variety of  service and  fellowship  activities.  Visitors are always invited to participate.
