After 19 years of adjunct services from nearby Sausalito, St. Stephen’s mission held its first services in Belvedere in 1902 and became a parish in 1951, with Rev. Edward J. Mohr its first Rector. Mohr continued the expansion of St. Stephen’s, most importantly in a visionary new Brutalist church structure completed in 1955, “a sanctuary…so worshippers are encouraged to look ahead at the ‘gateway to the Throne of God,’” focused on the magnificent suspended Christus Rex.
Our parish hall was added in 2004, and with over 12,000 square feet of space, provides a home for a wide array of church and community activities, in addition to office and classroom space. Solar panels were installed on the roof in 2014. Over 75% of the church's energy consumption are provided by these panels.
