Knox Burgoyne: "A country church": FLASHBACK: SUMMER FUN FOR YOUNG, OLD AND IN-BETWEEN

COMING SOON IN THIS SPACE. HOT NEWS. WATCH FOR IT!

OUR HISTORY

In 2012, Knox Presbyterian Church in Burgoyne celebrated its 150th Anniversary. Records show that the congregation was “born” in 1862. Our present building dates from 1869. It is a plain but beautiful church, built with the resources of rural people of the time. Six generations of members and adherents have attended services in the present church building.

Knox Burgoyne is our second church name. Our first was West Arran and Saugeen, until 1909. We became Knox Burgoyne in 1954. Knox Burgoyne was affiliated with Dunblane, which ceased to be an active church in 1968. Knox then joined in a two-point charge with Tolmie Memorial Presbyterian Church in Port Elgin. There have been many changes over the years. We have seen three organs, five major building renovations and many restorations. The west vestry-kitchen has changed four times with the newest kitchen renovation in 2009. Thousands of services and celebrations have echoed in the halls. The sanctuary ceiling has been raised and lowered and raised again. The sanctuary floor has been raised. The basement floor has been lowered. Many of the outbuildings have changed since horses and buggies became cars and trucks.

Our church is fairly conservative in worship style. We enjoy traditional church music but we are learning and enjoying many new hymns. We tend to be casual in our attire. We have Sunday School, Women’s Missionary Society, the Burgoyne Church Women’s group and a choir that always welcomes new members.
