Tuakau Union Parish
Visiting clergy led regular Presbyterian services in Tuakau since the early 1870s. Tenders were called for a church in 1879. Mrs Corbett gifted land for the church and the church was opened on Church Street in 1880. Rev. GB Munro of Remuera preached the sermon at the opening service on the 21st March 1880.
The church was enlarged in 1892. Adam Madill gifted the land on Madill Road where the church was relocated after May 1914. The name St Stephen's was given to the church by August 1915 and the same name was given to the street on the church's eastern boundary.
A new church centre was built in 1960. The Presbyterian and Methodist congregations merged in 1973 to form the Tuakau Union Parish.
