        History

        Knox United Church in Fernie was formed in 1925 out of the union of Fernie Methodist Church, established in 1899, and Knox Presbyterian Church, established in 1898. In 1919 these two churches joined in a local union producing a Union church under the oversight of the Presbyterians. Knox United Church has been the main congregation of Fernie Pastoral Charge, but the pastoral charge has also included points at Coal Creek (formerly a separate Methodist circuit), Elko and Grasmere. In 1990 Knox United Church became part of newly formed Elk Valley Pastoral Charge together with St. Barbara's Church in Sparwood and Grasmere. As of March 17, 2014, the Elk Valley Pastoral Charge separated into two pastoral charges: Knox United Church Pastoral Charge (Fernie, BC) and Grasmere United Church Pastoral Charge.
