History

The congregation began as a "Minority Group" from nearby Deer Park Presbyterian Church (subsequently Deer Park United Church) that voted against joining the United Church of Canada in 1925. First known as "Hill District Presbyterians", they later named their congregation after Reformation leader John Calvin.

Calvin Presbyterian is part of the Churches on the Hill group, an ecumenical grouping of congregations, including Deer Park United, that meet regularly for study, fellowship, and local pursuits.

Senior Ministers:

  • The Rev. Dr. Joseph Wasson, 1925 – 1955
  • The Rev. Dr. Douglas Herron, 1956 – 1985
  • The Rev. Dr. Kendrick Borden, 1987 – 2000
  • The Rev. Ian A.R. McDonald, 2002 – c. 2011
  • The Rev. Dr. Emily Bisset, 2012 – present
  • Music facility

    Musicians and recording engineers value the unique reverberation pattern of the Calvin Presbyterian sanctuary, with its similarity to the Sofiensaal in Vienna.
