About – Knox Presbyterian Church, Burgoyne

The congregation was established in 1862, and our present building dates from 1869, 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. The 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 a two-point charge with Tolmie Memorial Presbyterian Church in Port Elgin and there have been many changes since. We have seen three organs, five major building renovations, and wonderful restorations.

Thousands of services and celebrations have echoed in the halls. We enjoy traditional church music and are learning many new hymns. Knox Burgoyne has Sunday School, the Women’s Missionary Society, the Burgoyne Church Women’s Group, and a choir that always welcomes new members!

In February 2025, Rev. Deb Stanbury was called to Trinity Presbyterian in Hamilton, Ontario. Beginning in April 2025, the two-point pastoral charge of Knox Burgoyne and Tolmie Memorial Port Elgin is vacant . Rev. Dan West of Knox Kincardine is serving as the Interim Moderator during this period of vacancy. Both congregations continue to meet on Sunday’s during this time of vacancy with regular pulpit supply.
