Stunning! But couldn’t view the inside
The present sanctuary was given by Henry Morrison Flagler and dedicated in 1890 as a memorial to his daughter Jenny Louise Benedict who died from complications from childbirth. Mr. Flagler, his first wife, Mary, daughter Jenny Louise and granddaughter, Marjorie, are entombed in the Flagler family mausoleum at Memorial. For almost 200 years, Memorial Presbyterian Church has not only remained a major figure in the St. Augustine skyline but also a major contributor to the community surrounding it. We are an active congregation with a full range of worship, music, education, mission, fellowship, and pastoral ministries. Memorial Presbyterian Church members are vitally involved in the life and work of the community and the church reaches into the community and, in concert with others, into the world with the good news of God’s love in Jesus Christ. The Sanctuary is open for self guided tours Tues - Saturday from 11:00 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. unless we have a wedding or memorial service.

Stunning! But couldn’t view the inside
The exterior is amazing. Really ornate. There’s also a small little garden path you can walk through. Not much in the way of plants, but a great way to see the outside of the church from different angles. Unfortunately, the inside was locked up tight. I’m not sure if they are open only certain times? Maybe there’s a worry that homeless will start hanging around inside.

Beautiful architecture!
This church, designed by H. Flagler, is beautiful in design and architecture from the outside. The inside is more simple, although the lighting and stained glass windows are nice. Volunteers were present and helpful in answering questions. Was surprised with how simple and plain the mausoleum is for Flagler and some of his family. Worth visiting!
