Brief Description:
The original St Andrews church, also known as The Scots' Kirk, was constructed around 1832. It became the United Reformed Church in the 1970's when the Presbyterian church and Congregational church united. So the church became known as St Andrews United Reformed Church. It was around this time that the original building on Finch Road became too costly to upkeep and it was sold. Its tower and spire was kept but the rest of the church was demolished and Saint Andrews House office building is now on the site, and used as staff offices for the Isle of Man government. The congregation then moved to a smaller building at Cunningham House.

"St. Andrew’s is on the corner at the junction of Ballaquayle Road, Ballanard Road, Glencrutchery Road, and Bray Hill – due to the proximity of our neighbouring Anglican Church and the similarly named Secondary School this is usually known as St. Ninian’s Crossroads, or simply St. Ninian’s traffic lights.
The entry to St. Andrew’s Church is on the A2 Glencrutchery Rd. The church sits in its own ample car park. It is possible to enter our car park by driving into St Ninian's Church carpark and driving through the gate that links it to ours."
