Constructed in 1948, Knox’s sanctuary is long-recognized for its beautiful interior and excellent acoustics.  It has been used for numerous television and movie productions, and concerts, and for wedding photography classes.

  • At this time, the sanctuary seats up to 250 people.
  • The sanctuary has a traditional, center-aisle layout with concrete floors / blue carpet, good lighting and flexibility for many different altar configurations.
  • There is a front-facing choir loft with 2 sections of 3 pew rows each, and a balcony overlooking the main level of the sanctuary for video recording  and other production needs.
  • Knox has leaded glass and stained-glass windows in the sanctuary.  The East West exposure creates displays of colour and beautiful lighting as the sun moves throughout the day.  The main stained glass window can be lit up for evening shoots, or in inclement weather.
  • High-vaulted wood ceilings and pews offer the look and feel of a traditional church space.
  • Currently, half of the sanctuary space is filled with original wooden pews and the back half with movable cushioned chairs.  However, the remaining pews are in storage, and arrangements can be made to use them for your project at an additional cost.
  • The church has handicap access including ramps and washroom.
  • The parking lot behind the church building lot is large and there’s street parking out front, which allows load in and load out from all sides.  There are four exterior doors, two on each side of the building and a ramp at the front side entrance.

Please note that Knox is awaiting a new building development on our property and adjacent to our property.  As a result, we no longer own or have access to our old church hall.
