Holy Trinity Church
The Anglican Chinese Churches in Singapore began with the St Andrew's Church Mission in 1856. These Foochow and Hokkien speaking services sarted in 1902 with services being held initially at St Peter's Church at Stamford Road.
The site at St Peter's Church was eventually reclaimed by the government in 1937 for the building of the former National Library and the church then moved to its current location at the junction of Home Road and Hamilton, establishing itself as the Holy Trinity Church in 1941.
With its unique Chinese Art Deco architecture, the Holy Trinity Church is a beautiful sight to behold. Services are conducted through the week in English, Mandarin and Tagalog.
