History and Architecture:
The Church is part of the Sydney Anglican diocese. The story of St Stephens Belrose dates from the time of residential subdivision of the area from the late 1960s, the first St Stephens Anglican hall in Belrose was established in the 1930s.
Philip Hanlon was engaged as the architect of the current Church and he designed a building in harmony with the existing hall, to accommodate 200 worshippers. Building commenced in November of 1971 and was completed in February 1972.
On Sunday 28 November 1976 the new church was dedicated and St Stephens was finally licensed.
