Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church building in Rochor, Singapore
Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church is a church building with Romanesque architecture located in Rochor. The structure displays red brick construction, a prominent gable at the front, and a bell tower equipped with a loudspeaker system.
The building was constructed in 1930 by Swan and Maclaren Architects, yet it followed an earlier chapel founded in 1843. The site's origins trace back to the 19th century, when it first functioned as a missionary outpost.
The church welcomes worshippers from multiple ethnic backgrounds through services in different languages. This approach shapes how the space functions as a gathering place for diverse communities in the city.
The site is located roughly 350 meters from Rochor MRT station and is therefore easy to reach on foot. The building sits in a central area with convenient public transport access nearby.
The church established Singapore's first Boys' Brigade company in 1930 and expanded the effort with a Girls' Brigade in 1950. These youth organizations were initiated under the leadership of a Scottish architect and remain part of the community today.
