It doesn't look like a church. That's the first thought you'll have when you step in, and are no longer being distracted by the admittedly church-like facade outside. But you see, it wasn't always a church. In Portuguese times, the building was a monastery. The Dutch used it as a government house and banquet hall. It wasn't until the British came along that it was made into a Garrison Church. It is cozy, and intimate, and so it is good for service. Plus, it's historical, so it counts as a tourist attraction too.
