Beautiful church with good auditorium, very cool and welcoming, the view is amazing, the color of paint they use in painting the church is outstanding and the way the church is built is world class, i remember the first time i saw this church on my way to balogun market, i was like wow this is beautiful, i was almost thinking i was seeing a movie, the architect who draw the plan for the building of this church they need some accolade, such a nice place to take pictures, it so beautiful.

The oldest church edifices in Lagos Island, Lagos Denomination : Anglican Architect(s) : Bagan Benjamin Architectural type: Norman Gothic Groundbreaking : 1924 Completed: 1946 The foundation stone for the first cathedral building was laid on 29 March 1867 and the cathedral was established in 1869. Construction of the current building to designs by architect Bagan Benjamin started on 1 November 1924. The foundation stone was laid by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII) on 21 April 1925.. It was completed in 1946. In 1976 the relics of Rev Dr Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a former Yoruba slave who became the first African bishop in the Anglican Church, were translated to the cathedral. There is a cenotaph erected as a memorial of him. It is popularly known as the Cathedral Church of Christ Marina, and is the oldest Anglican cathedral in the Church of Nigeria

Just in case you need to escape the cacophony of daily Lagos by drowining in the beauty of God and his Holiness, walk into this magnificent, historical edifice of stellar aesthetic. You will not need the sermon in order to be converted to Christianity. Classy, tasteful, serene but lacks parking space.

The Catheral Church of Christ is an Anglican Church and the seat of the bishop of Aglican Communion. The building is a historical and architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Lagos Island. Several services are held in week days and Sundays at scheduled times. It is quite close to the road and parking is done at dedicated car parks and along the road. The Church building has an accessible tramp leading into the Church from the main entrance ♿wheelchair users and people with special needs can easily attend services. Restrooms are available for male and female faithful.
