The former St Stephen's Presbyterian Church, The Rock closed many years ago and the property was sold (2014?). The church was established in 1884, with the first church building opened about 1887. The site on which the first church building was located was sold in 1911 and the building relocated. The building was relocated to this site and used until 1929, when it was demolished to make way for the present building. This building was opened by the Moderator of the NSW Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 1930. The church is believed to have ceased functioning about 1989?. No other details are known. More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 29/8/2019 22/5/2025.
