  2. Knox Presbyterian Church, Tiverton

  3. Our Mission Statement Knox Presbyterian Church, Tiverton, exists to provide Christian worship, guidance, education, and fellowship suitable for all people. We desire to be a practical, caring, and concerned church with a special regard for those who have particular physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. We seek to be a prayerful congregation.

  4. Our Mission Statement While seeking to promote and maintain good communication within our existing membership, we also wish to be a welcoming church -- extending an invitation to new people in our community, people with no church connection, and those who may not have maintained their connection with the church -- in hopes that they might become part of our worship and fellowship.

  5. The Beauty of Knox Tiverton • Our church is situated on the main street. • The present church was built in 1900. • The “Access Project” in 1992 saw the construction of an addition to our church that would make it accessible to everyone. • The manse is located beside the church. It is a bungalow style with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a finished basement.

  18. Mission Work Recognizing that we are a part of the Presbyterian Church in Canada and are members of the Reformed Family of Churches, we support missionary endeavours both within our community and in the world beyond. For example: • The WMS recently purchased a sewing machine that was sent to Guatemala. • Knox fundraises for the Teeswater Cropshare. • The Sunday school supports Sleeping Children Around the World. • The congregation participates in White Gift Sunday at Christmas.

  19. Tiverton is a small but growing village of approximately one thousand people located on the eastern shores of Lake Huron. This congregation consists of approximately 200 members and 200 adherents. The people are predominantly farmers or hydro workers at nearby Bruce Power. We also rub shoulders with a growing Amish community.

  20. Why come to our community? • Small town, close-knit community • Beautiful parks and nature trails, close to Lake Huron and beaches • Local medical centre and other local health services

  21. Knox in the community We are truly a community church -- taking an active part in Fall Fairs, Winterfest celebrations, skating parties, Christian Faith Festivals, etc. We are also involved with the seniors’ residence in our village and provide free bus transportation to worship services. We eagerly reach out in fun and informal ways to the community.

  22. Our Hope for Our Future To welcome a dedicated and energetic minister who... • has a dynamic leadership style • is approachable and compassionate • enhances the worship and spiritual life of our people • is a strong presence in the lives of our youth • fosters a sense of stewardship enabling us to continue our mission work both within and beyond the community.

  23. Our Benediction Each Sunday, our worship service closes with the song “Go Now and Pass It On”. As a church family, we believe that this is how we should live our lives as Christians. We know that “the love of God surrounds us, and now we must pass it on”.
