St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Lunenburg)

St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is a church in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The congregation is the longest history of any Presbyterian congregation in Canada.[1][2] After meeting at a private house, the congregation worshipped in St. John's Anglican Church (Lunenburg) (1759–1770). The first church was built in 1770 and the first minister was Reverend Bruin Romkes Comingo, who served the community for 50 years until he died at age 95 (1820).[3] The current church was built in the neo-gothic style and dates from 1828.[4]
