St. Andrew's Church (The Kirk)

Probably one of the best architectural marvels amongst church buildings in the world.

The grandeur and enormity of the structures especially the pillars, both outside and inside the church make you feel humble and gives you a perspective of the place that you hold with this life in this multiverse.

Services are all in English and western styled. Unlike the recent churches that make church service an English rock show service at this church is calm and soul stirring.

Many good old people to speak to and get volumes of knowledge.

A must visit place for any person who is in search of himself or as a traveling stop.

Wonderful church. Very busy, historic, regal, symbol of British Era. The devotees today are very proud of this place of worship, being kept in top condition. I gate crashed in to a wedding, the atmosphere was electric, have a glance. A must visit.

One of the oldest churches in Chennai, with marvelous architecture. I think the church was also recently renovated and has a much better space now.

One of the oldest church ⛪ in Chennai... Nice place... It is situated beside the Chennai Egmore Railway station (MS). Also very close to Chennai Central Railway station (MAS) also (around 10-15 minute walking distance from MAS). Nice and peaceful place, also cleaned and well maintained.

A beautiful place of worship, with exquisite architecture and interiors. The pastor here has a profound understanding of the scriptures. The choir consists of just one lead singer and one pianist/organist. All the children of the Lord are welcome here!

It was built to serve the Scottish community in Chennai. Building started 6 April 1818 and the church was consecrated in 1821.

It was designed and executed by Major Thomas de Havilland and Colonel James Caldwell of the Madras Engineers. The body of the church is a circle, with rectangular compartments to the east and west. The circular part 24.5 m in diameter, is crowned by a shallow masonry dome colored a deep blue. This is painted with golden stars and supported by 16 fluted pillars with Corinthian capitals.

Dominating the altar is the pipe organ in dull green and burnished gold. Built in New Yorkshire, England, this instrument was installed in 1883.

I have only attended the online service but I'm so impressed. The sermons have so much depth and so does the worship, which is very balanced, including the Spirit and the Word through Hymns. Beautiful.

Breathtaking architecture amidst lovely greenery. Peace fills you,when you step in.
