Introduction
Every religion has an important building for the religious practice or
ceremonies. Like Buddhism has temples, Islam has mosque. When I research for
information about churches in Chatuchak, there are many activities that can be done
here.

History
1971 – Dover area was just an open field; some said the area surrounding the church
was a graveyard! The present sanctuary, formerly St. John’s Garrison Church, stood
lonely on a hillock. A distance away at St. Margaret’s Secondary School, the church
planted by St. Andrew’s Cathedral, a congregation of about 90 people, was looking for
a more suitable place to worship. After months of discussion, permission was given
for this group to use St. John’s Church. Finally, on 28th Nov 1971, the birth, or more

appropriately the marriage, of St. John and St. Margaret took place.

For the first 5 years, St. John’s when the church was given parish status. Through Rev.
McSparron’s emphasis on living by the Scriptures, evangelism and lay training, the
seeds for growth were planted.

On 22 January 2006, Christ Sanctuary was completed and dedicated by Bishop
John Chew.
