Knox Kincardine has been a part of the community since 1849, supporting the residents and local organizations in many ways.
In early days, the Knox Missionary Society started the Canadian Girls in Training (CGIT), a mission band and a young woman’s auxiliary.
Today, the church hosts initiatives such as the Good Food Box, United Way’s backpack program, VON community meetings, and clothing exchanges. They are a venue for the Kincardine Community Singers and the Kincardine Summer Music Festival.
During the year, Knox invites the community to come in for coffee and refreshments. This is a casual drop-in morning event intended for fellowship and conversation. The complimentary soup lunch is also one of the highlights of the year.
Knox has been a strong partner of Community Living, which actually began as an organization using the church premises. Today, they use the church for programs such as Baby and Me, and Food Education.
A part of the children’s mission is their partnership with Camp Kintail in Goderich. They participate in many ways, including sending a local child to camp and contributing to the camp education program.
The Kincardine Refugee Program is backed by the local church and processed through the Presbyterian Church in Canada, which is an official sponsor with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
The church congregation meets in one of the oldest and most beautiful buildings in Kincardine and is proud to be a part of the town’s heritage.
In association with the Kincardine Scottish Festival, the church holds a Kirkin’ of the Tartan service honouring the clans that originally settled in Kincardine.
The church is excited for the next phase of the anniversary year, which includes an anniversary dinner Sept. 27, the Burlington Male Chorus on Sept. 28, and a special service on Sept. 29.
The anniversary dinner will feature a great meal at the legion, prizes and many memories shared through a slide show, pictures and conversations with people you know. Tickets will be available in August. Read More
