St. Andrews Presbyterian Kirk

In 1842, a session room was added to the kirk, increasing its facilities and enabling it to accommodate the growing congregation and its activities.

In the early 20th century, Emily Frances Higgs (sister of Sir George H. Gamblin, President of the Legislative Council and a church elder) held afternoon classes at the Quarry Mission School, assisted by teachers from St. Andrew's Sunday School.

The church played a role in the establishment of the first Nassau company of the Boys' Brigade in 1909 and St. Andrew's School in 1948 under the leadership of Rev.

James Jack, Lucaya Presbyterian Kirk was founded in Freeport, Grand Bahama in 1968.

[7] The two stained glass windows, on either side of the Kirk platform and Communion Table, are dedicated to the memory of Emily Frances Higgs.

St. Andrew's Kirk remains an essential part of the religious and historical fabric of the Bahamas, preserving its Presbyterian traditions while actively contributing to the spiritual growth and well-being of its congregation and community.
