The Flinders Street Baptist Church, Adelaide is one of the most famous religious structures of the city. This ancient church with its grand architecture is one of the heritage sites of Adelaide. It was built in the year 1861 after a group of Christians with Rev Silas Meade as a driving force, decided to set up a Baptist church exclusively for the city. In fact, the foundation stone of the church was laid down in that year, and after eighteen months, the building was fully constructed.

The interior of the Church has a simple grandeur. The walls of the church are adorned with a number of plaques which highlight the services rendered and sacrifices made by many past members during the times of war. There is a gallery inside the church. This structure was added in the year 1873 in order to improve the quality of the acoustics; unfortunately it tends to obscure the beautiful rose window. The gallery also houses a huge pipe organ built in the year 1886 and renovated and rebuilt in the year 1996. Additions were made to the church building in the year 1877. The Flinders Baptist Church in Adelaide also has adjacent classrooms, residence quarters and a manse.

The church is open from Mondays to Fridays, as well as Sundays. The Flinders Street Baptist Church, Adelaide is one of the finest churches of the city. A symbol of spirituality and holiness, this historical religious building attracts a large number of worshippers with its age old charm and beauty.
