History
St. Stephen's Church, Kidderpore welcomes all individuals seeking God’s love, we keep our doors open to every soul seeking to welcome Jesus into their hearts. We invite you to open your heart and allow His grace to penetrate into your soul.
Our church stands as a beacon of hope with its unique rocket-like steeple, St. Stephen’s Church attracts the attention of even the casual passerby. Strangely the steeple was not meant to be designed like a rocket, in fact, it was designed as a ship’s lantern.
With the Kidderpore ports, just a stone throw away no wonder the church had a steeple shaped like a ship's lantern and the area was once thronged with seafaring people from all over the world.
The foundation stone of this Anglican church was laid on 6 January 1844 by the Governor-General along with the Venerable Archdeacon Rev. Thomas.
St. Stephen’s Church was opened to the public in 1846 and it is believed that church had been the place of worship for the Governor-General, when he stayed in Belvedere, which is now the National Library.
In 1848, it was established as a Chaplaincy and in 1870 it became a Parish Church.
