 "The stonemasons are busily at work at St. Philips's Church, Belvidere. It is expected that in a few weeks the building will be ready for divine service. When finished, the appearance of the church, standing as it does on an eminence, will have a pretty effect on the roadside.” [Register 8 Oct 1858]

 “St. Philip's, Belvidere, was also carried on towards completion; but through hindrances, common in the bush, it was not formally opened for divine service until after the commencement of the present year.” [Register 13 May 1862]
 “The Church of St Philip, Belvidere is pleasantly situated on an eminence about two miles and a half from Marrabel, in the vicinity of a number of Episcopalian residents. In its establishment there was much praiseworthy zeal shown. Mr. Levi Broadbent not only gave a handsome donation of £100, but an acre of ground on which the church stands. The church, though still requiring to be plastered,and sundry other little matters, is comfortable and of adequate size. Its floor is of brick, and it is furnished with neat cedar sittings. There is an elevated deal platform for administering the service, enclosed with neat cedar railing. The church is also used for a school.” [Register 6 May 1867]
 “Mrs. Gus Wurst, of Gawler East, attended the dedication of a stained-glass window and stone Altar at little St. Phillip's Church of England, Belvidere (near Marrabel) recently. She is a great grand-daughter of Levi Broadbent, one of the pioneers responsible for the erection of the church . . . The 'Women's Weekly' of 8th April devoted two pages including pictures, to the ceremony at the little church.” [Bunyip 17 Apr 1953]
