There has been a thriving Anglican community in Al Ain since 1987, at which time the chaplains of St. Andrew’s Church in Abu Dhabi started visiting Al Ain twice a month to conduct services of Holy Communion on Monday evenings at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church.
St. Thomas’ Church Al Ain finally assumed its own identity, as a sister church to St Andrew's Abu Dhabi, in 2011. Since that time St. Thomas’ Anglican Church continued to flourish and grow embracing a diverse congregation from varied ecumenical backgrounds and church traditions, as well as a thriving and popular children’s ministry. However, with the departure of the chaplain followed soon after by COVID the church stopped meeting in person.
​
Now in 2025 we are restarting our church. Please join and be part of the next chapter in the life of St Thomas' Anglican Church Al Ain.
​
St Thomas' has been generously granted land by the ruling family of the UAE to build its own church. We hope that our congregation will quickly grow and so give us the push to build our own church building. Come and help that happen!
