Church history

Paragraph that details some of the information about this church.
The first Presbyterian minister arrived in Red Bank in 1876 and conducted services in a local hall. That minister stayed for two years and preached, not only in Red Bank, but also in Halcomb. It was during the pastorship of the second minister (in 1886) that a church was erected.<br /> <br /> In 1907 the first church was sold to Joseph Napke who moved it to a new site to be used as a store. The new church, built on the original site was a wooden structure designed by J. M. Troy of Newcastle.<br /> In June 1923 a huge fire in Red Bank destroyed over forty buildings; one of those destroyed was the Presbyterian Church.<br /> <br /> By the end of 1923, plans were underway to erect a new church. This new St. Stephen’s was built and opened in August of 1924.<br /> <br /> In 1925, when church union occurred, St. Stephen’s congregation voted to become a United Church. <br /> Over the years the church has been updated with a choir loft, finished basement and a complete renovation of the main church.<br />
