History

Our History

The first Anglican church in Lakefield was Christ Church, which was opened on Christmas Day 1854. Christ Church still stands today and is used as a community museum to honour the pioneers who established Lakefield as a thriving community on the Otonabee River. It wasn't long before the congregation outgrew Christ Church and in 1864 the decision was made to build a new church building rather than enlarge Christ Church. The new church, St. John the Baptist, was opened in1866. This was followed by a rectory beside the church, completed in 1875. The Bell Tower and entrance way were added to St. John's in 1884. It wasn't until 1953 that the parish hall was added; up to that time, Christ Church was used for St. John's Sunday school classes. The parish hall was enlarged and renovated in 1989, providing a much larger kitchen in addition to office space, a choir room, and other rooms.
