Knox Presbyterian Church was organized in 1848 with forty members, and a small frame church was built here on .4 ha of land given by Thomas Kennedy. Its first elders were local farmers: Wm. Clark, J.P., Andrew Telfer, Wm. Young, Wm. Ferguson, John McLevin and Wm. Clark Junior. Led by its first three ministers, Thomas Wightman, John Laing, and D.H. Fletcher, the congregation grew and flourished, acquired more land, and in 1872 erected the present large brick building, and sheds which accommodated one hundred horse-drawn vehicles. A brick manse was also built on 2.4 ha glebe nearby. In 1925, the congregation entered the United Church of Canada.
