Knox Presbyterian Church

About Knox Presbyterian Church

Knox Presbyterian Church, now reimagined as Copperlight, is one of Stratford's most recognizable and historically significant landmarks, blending more than 150 years of community heritage with a renewed vision for arts, culture, and spiritual connection. Established long before Stratford became a city, the church has long served as a welcoming hub for worship, music, storytelling, reflection, and outreach, with its congregation known for its hospitality and commitment to local care initiatives. Today, through a partnership with BMI Group, the building is being revitalized into a multipurpose community space that preserves its Gothic Revival architecture while expanding its role as a venue for performances, workshops, gatherings, and creative programming. Its sanctuary and adjacent spaces offer warm acoustics, soaring stained-glass windows, and flexible seating, making it a sought-after setting for concerts, theatre productions, public events, and spiritual services alike. Still home to an active Presbyterian community, the site continues to evolve as Copperlight—an inclusive, inspiring downtown destination where heritage, creativity, and community life intersect in meaningful and memorable ways.
