A more permanent church was completed in 1797, and it was elevated to a cathedral in 1870. The interior was later destroyed by fire but has since been renovated. Admission is free, and the inside is intricately decorated. Definitely worth a peek

We were taking refuge from the rain and heat and all the action in this very popular Florida town. This is one of the first churches I have ever reviewed on yelp; but, I must tell you the odds are stacked in the church's favor that it's going to be close to a five star score. Also, St. Augustine has quite a few very historic churches, parishes, shrines, and religious destinations so you can almost make a full day of visiting these sites. We found the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine to be absolutely amazing, cool, and inspiring. Don't forget to pick up something from the Gift Shop as you depart or make a donation.

Dear Reverend McConnell,…read more Your First Baptist Church in St Augustine located at 89 St Francis Street, employs a man who goes against any and all principles of Jesus Christ. He lives at 89 St Benedict Street and comes out of his house to scream at people who are peacefully sitting in the shade on the steps not doing anything but just enjoying not being in the heat of the summer sun for a few moments. There are signs posted about parking and towing away cars, but in front of the church there are no "No Trespassing Signs" in front of the church steps, or even on the corner of St Benedict and St Francis Street. Perhaps there should be which would make it very clear to all the lack of humanity, compassion, and community of this particular neighborhood church. And truth be told it further annoys me as someone who lives in the Lincolnville neighborhood and whose taxes helped pay for the new elevator, the complete refurbishment of the exterior and interior of your church to the tune of over $600,000. But hey if you had a sign right in front of the building that stated emphatically "No Tresspassing by Order of the Police Chief" it would be very clear. Unlike the St Cyprian's Church down the street that has a lovely garden with benches and invites the public in for a respite. Or St Benedict who holds a biweekly food bank and invites all people from everywhere to participate and allows for people to play in their field. What a sorry excuse for the neighborhood.

We really appreciated the time that Maggie and Cindy spent with us. Quite entertaining and a valuable experience. Definitely a 'must visit' when visiting historic St. Augustine. A++

The church looks very small from the outside, but to your surprise when you come in the place is absolutely enormous. You can see by the many photographs that I posted the beauty of this interior space. My wife and I attended Mass one Sunday morning, and it was a beautiful Mass, friendly priests and friendly parishioners. When in St. Augustine, my wife and I attend Mass at the Cathedral Basilica in the old city. But it is closed for renovations. we stumbled upon send Sebastian, and now this will be our church when we go to St. Augustine on future trips. One of the local touches that I noticed on the interior was, they used coquina in the construction of the altar and in the Construction of the lectern. I recommend this church to anyone that is visiting St. Augustine.

Following my daughter's suggestion that it was the perfect time to find a church, I "stumbled" upon Champion Church. It was the best discovery I could have made. Pastor Trevor, who founded the church, truly gives his heart and soul to the ministry. His sermons are engaging, insightful, and often include great comedic moments. Additionally, the musicians and singers are exceptionally talented. I encourage you to join us at Champion Church. The congregation is incredibly welcoming and will make you feel right at home. It is definitely worth a visit--please come "stumble in" and join our community. Best regards, Tammy Bomberger
