St. Paul Church, alternatively known as the Bebekli Kilise, is a Roman Catholic Church in Adana that was built in 1870. The church is located close to the 5 Ocak Square, off the Cemal Gürsel Street. The 2.5 meter high bronze statue of Mary resembled a baby to the people walking by and the church became known as the "Church with Baby" (Bebekli Kilise).
The church is currently serves to the Catholic and the Protestant Community of Adana. The garden of the church is converted into a car parking to raise income for the church.
