Overview

Our congregation started as a Sunday School with sixteen children. In the year 1907, Rev. Thomas H. Mitchell and Rev. F. Ballantyne, Moderator and Clerk of New St. James' Session visited the Knollwood Park area and found that there was no provision for a Sunday School for the children. They reported their finds to their Session at New St. James, with the result that at a Session meeting on October 9th, 1907 it was agreed to open a Sabbath School as soon as a suitable building could be provided. Rev. Ballantyne made another visit to the area, and stating the need of a place to start a Sabbath School to Mr. W. W. Gammage, florist, who offered the free use of their shipping room until a more suitable place could be found. This was located at Oxford and Gammage Streets where Loblaws was and where the Bellwood Plaza is now. Seats, hymnals, Sunday School helpers, etc. were provided by First Presbyterian and New St. James Churches. The elders of New St. James took charge for the first month and on November 13th, 1907 Mr. George Millar was formally appointed to be Superintendent of the School. An afternoon service was held until October 1909 when Rev. Peter Nichol was appointed as Minister in charge.

Today we are a growing church that offers a warm and friendly family atmosphere in which we can worship and serve God.

We will be celebrating Knollwood Park's 100th Anniversary on Sunday Oct. 18th 2009
