 As of late, St. Stephens Church is Ferguson is making a lot of noise. “St. Stephens the Church is like a lot of these churches that are having a hard time growing,” said Steve Lawler. Inspiration for Episcopal priest Steve Lawler to start a new page. “We realized the traditional arts community and cultural community in St. Louis doesn’t always serve North County.”
And realizing the power of music,  Lawler started a guitar program open to children and young adults. “This is really our attempt to put the guitar and music lesson and all of that in the hands of kids who might not be able to have this opportunity.”
