This is the historical anchor for Bangkok's Anglican expat community. If you are Church of England or Anglican Communion, this is your Sunday base in the city center. The Karen Outreach program and IDC Visitation Ministry show active engagement beyond Sunday worship. The 7:30 AM service runs smaller and quieter than the 10:00 AM slot.

Six stone pillars frame the nave. North and south aisles flank the Gothic sanctuary, and the chancel sits at the front. The building occupies the junction of Convent and Sathorn Roads, five minutes from Sala Daeng BTS and Silom MRT.

Protestant worship in Bangkok started in private homes in the early 19th century when British traders and American missionaries arrived in the capital. King Mongkut granted land near the Chao Phraya River, and the first Christ Church building opened for worship on May 1, 1864. The congregation outgrew the original riverside site, and on April 7, 1904, King Chulalongkorn Rama V granted a larger plot at the junction of Convent and Sathorn Roads for the use of the church. The current building opened for divine service on April 30, 1905, and the architecture follows a simple Gothic plan with a nave and chancel flanked by six pillars beyond which are the north and south aisles that define the interior structure.

Sunday services run at 7:30 AM and 10:00 AM, both conducted in English. The 10:00 AM service streams live on Facebook and YouTube for those who cannot attend in person. The church is a parish of the Anglican Church in Thailand within the Diocese of Singapore.

Beyond Sunday worship, the church operates a Karen Outreach program and an IDC Visitation Ministry, serving both the international community and local Bangkok populations. The parish office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM for inquiries, new member registration, and volunteer coordination. The office is closed on Saturdays.
