Knox Church officially began in 1860. A one-storey brick church was erected in 1867. This was the first brick church in Halton County, and was located at the present Main St. & Church St. site of today's church.
The congregation continued to grow rapidly, and in 1887, the one-storey brick church was torn down and a new stone church was erected. The new Church had a seating capacity of approximately 300.
On February 16, 1901, the Church was destroyed by fire which was believed to have started in the furnace room. It was quickly rebuilt.
Since 1861, it has been part of a two-point pastoral charge with Limehouse Presbyterian Church, located north and west of Georgetown in Limehouse.
Rev. Steven A. Boose is the present minister of this congregation, having served since August 2013.
