The oldest Protestant church in Thailand and today stands as a vibrant bilingual Anglican parish in the heart of Bangkok. Brief History • Early Protestant Worship: British traders and American missionaries met in private homes until King Mongkut (Rama IV) granted land on Charoen Krung Road for a dedicated chapel. • Protestant Union Chapel: Opened 1 May 1864, it was officially named the Protestant Union Chapel but commonly called “the English Church.” • Relocation & Renaming: As the expatriate community grew, King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) granted a larger site at Convent and Sathorn Roads. The new Neo‑Norman style building—christened Christ Church—opened 30 April 1905. • Anglican Parish: Initially under the Anglican Bishop of Singapore, it was upgraded to a full parish in 1963. Over the 20th century it planted daughter churches across Thailand and began Thai‑language services alongside English worship. Current Status • Denomination & Governance: A parish of the Anglican Church in Thailand, within the Diocese of Singapore (Province of South East Asia). • Building & Capacity: The 1905 Neo‑Norman sanctuary seats up to 450. It retains its original teak‑timber roof structure, marble sanctuary floor, and Thailand’s only pipe organ. • Congregation: Around 400 members from diverse nationalities worship in English (07:30 am & 10:00 am Sundays) and Thai (evening services). • Ministries & Outreach: • Rainbowland Child Development Centre (kindergarten ministry) • Karen outreach and other cross‑cultural programs • Regular Bible studies, youth groups, and community service • Clergy & Leadership: • Priest‑in‑Charge: Dhanadhis Jirathammakul • Archbishop (Province): Titus Chung • Deanery: Thailand Deanery, Diocese of Singapore • Restorations: Major refurbishments include the 2012 window restoration and ongoing conservation of the historic stucco exterior and stained‑glass windows.
