Knox Presbyterian Church was started as a Sunday School on Stanley Avenue (Spring Ridge District) in 1891 by the Christian Endeavour Society of the Young People of First Presbyterian Church, now First Metropolitan United Church.

Knox Church became associated with St. Aidan's (now St. Aidan's United) in 1903 and St. Columba (now Oak Bay United) in 1904 to form one augmented mission field.

In 1909 Knox Church separated from these groups and became a separate charge, having paid off the mortgage on its property and called its first full-time minister.

The Church building on Stanley Avenue was vacated in 1960 and the congregation moved to its present location.

In 1990 a deliberately set fire caused extensive interior damage to our building. Instead of the congregation moving apart, everyone stayed together to make the church work again and in 1991 we celebrated our 100th anniversary.

Today we are a congregation of approximately 140 families from many ethnic backgrounds.
