Presbyterian Church

The Scots founded Grenada's first Presbyterian church, St. Andrews Kirk, which was affiliated with the Church of Scotland. It first opened its doors on July 14, 1833. This labor extended over the island when slavery was abolished in 1880. Progress was noticeable in Samaritans in Belair, Grenada, and St. Patrick's.

The Church of Scotland left Grenada and St. Vincent Island in 1945 to support the mission. It was suggested that they join the Methodists, but there was great opposition, so they later joined the Presbyterian Church in Trinidad and Tobago and became the Northern Presbytery of that organization. The congregation swelled dramatically. It became self-contained on April 20, 1986. The Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Westminster Confession of Faith are the three major creeds. Granada's Presbyterian Church has four congregations and around 900 members. It is a member of the World Communion of Reformed Churches (WCRC).

St Andrew's Kirk was founded by Scottish immigrants to Grenada, who lay the foundation stone for their church. The building of Scot's Kirk took three years to complete. Since then, the imposing clock tower has stood guard over St. George's Inner Harbour, with a bell cast in Glasgow, Scotland. Protestants make up about half of the island's population. On September 7, 2004, the church was tragically damaged by Hurricane Ivan. Repairs have yet to be completed. Take note of the tower perched on a hill with a view of the cruise port. It can be used as a guide to help you climb the stairs and along the path that leads to Fort George.
