Catedral del Espíritu Santo, Protestant church in Macul district, Santiago, Chile
The Catedral del Espíritu Santo is an evangelical church in Macul, Santiago, housed in the former Teatro Macul. It has a central temple, several internal dependencies and a park for members' recreation and activities, resembling a university campus.
The church opened on 20 August 1983, when Juan Christian Casanova Del Solar held its first service in what was then the Teatro Macul, after finishing his theological studies in 1980. It grew out of the charismatic renewal that began in the United States in the early 1960s and reached Latin America in the early 1970s. Over the years the congregation expanded through home churches of ten to twenty people meeting weekly.
The cathedral functions as a gathering place for the evangelical community in Santiago, hosting religious ceremonies, concerts, and events that bring residents together. It serves as a spiritual center where local Protestant believers gather for worship and fellowship.
The church is located in the Macul area and welcomes visitors who wish to attend worship services or arrange a visit. Check ahead to confirm visiting hours and whether special events or services are taking place during your visit.
