Knox United Church is located in Calgary, Canada and is a member church of the United Church of Canada.
Knox Presbyterian Church was established in 1883. The first church building was opened on October 21, 1883, a small wooden building. It was completed for $ 1000.
A new, larger, building was constructed at the corner of Center Street and Seventh Avenue. Designed to seat 330 people, it cost $ 8,000. As the congregation continued to expand, the subsequent building was erected in 1912 at the corner of Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue South. This is the site of the present day Knox United Church.
The church split in 1925 after some members of the congregation voted to join with the United Church of Canada. Those who wished to remain in the Presbyterian Church went on to form a new, separate congregation.
The church is involved with various outreach and social projects, particularly focusing on the homeless, and has been at the front of the movement to welcome gays, lesbians and transgender individuals into the United Church. In March 2007, after a vote at his annual congregational meeting, Knox became an affirming congregation, committed to work for the full inclusion and affirmation of all people in the life and work of the church.
Knox also runs an adult education program open to people of all faiths based in the Knox Center. A new dimension was added to this part of the Knox ministry in 2006 with the establishment of the Knox Center Theater Collective for authors and playwrights.
The church has one of the largest Casavant Frères organs in western Canada. This forms the center of a strong music program. A permanent labyrinth was opened in 2005 and is open for daily meditations. The building is now well known throughout the area as a venue for musical concerts of all kinds and is working to become more involved in the arts community in Calgary.
