St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kingston

Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church's origins date back to 1822, when its first service was held, marking the beginning of its long-standing presence in the community. In 1889, the building underwent significant reconstruction, yet much of its original design was preserved, maintaining the architectural integrity and historical essence of the church.

One of the most striking features of Saint Andrew's is its collection of beautiful stained glass windows. These windows not only add to the aesthetic appeal of the church but also serve as a medium for storytelling and reflection. Among them, the window depicting the biblical story of Saint Andrew is particularly notable. This artwork captures the essence of the church's namesake and adds a layer of spiritual and historical significance to the space.

In addition to the main sanctuary, Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church includes a small chapel, constructed in 1967. This chapel is a serene space that further enriches the church's architectural and artistic landscape. Within this intimate setting, visitors can admire more stunning stained glass windows, each telling its own story and contributing to the overall beauty and contemplative atmosphere of the chapel.
