The challenge for site planning for St. Stephen was to fit extensive interior and exterior program requirements onto a 14 acre site. A portion of the site was not buildable due to the presence of wetlands. The site was also adjacent to a major interstate freeway, further restricting the placement of building components.
The building design has a contemporary architectural language that keeps with the suburban setting, while still recalling the form, materials, and details of the Parish’s existing historic church.

St. John Lutheran Church desired better provision for gathering and fellowship area within their existing building. The Master Planning identified an under-utilized area as a potential location.

GROTH Design Group partnered with St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church & School to further expansion of the school and add new worship and gathering spaces.
