Comments
The St Stephen's Lutheran Church, Geranium Plain is in the Eudunda-Robertstown Parish in the SA - NT District of the Lutheran Church of Austraia. It is not clear when the church actually began, as early services were held in the Hausler family home and in other church's buildings prior to the erection of their own church building. The present church building was erected on land donated by Mr Albert Redemski and dedicated on 28/10/1900. A school was conducted in the church building from 1901 until 1917. In 1922 the nearby St Paul's Lutheran congregation joined with St Stephen's (see separate entry - 5381), and in 1925 the Bundey Immanual congregation joined.. On 26/10/2025 the church celebrated its 125 anniversary. A small cemetery is located near the church. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 23/10/2026.
