The Church of the Redeemer was built in 1876 and opened and consecrated in January 1877.

For a more complete history see the pamphlet The Church of the Redeemer .... The First 100 Years.

Historical Notes
For a full historical account of The Church of the Redeemer, Stoney Creek, the researcher is directed to the printed Parish History. The statistical records of the church are complete from the date of its consecration, January 9 1877. All the records reflect the role played by the Church of the Redeemer as a "mother church" for the surrounding district. (1) St. John's Winona, (2) St. Andrew's on the Lake, (3) The Church of the Good Shepherd (part of The Church of the Redeemer from 1922 until 1934 when it was transferred to Aldershot), (4) Grace Church (part of The Church of the Redeemer from 1919 until 1921 when it became separate) and (5) The Church of Our Saviour (known as "Stop 69", Fruitland, part of The Church of the Redeemer from 1947 until 1962 when it became separate), all began as missions of The Church of the Redeemer. St. Mary's Bartonville and The Church of the Redeemer formed a single parish until their separation into two parishes in 1945. In 1900 Van Wagner's Beach Church was added to the Parish of Stoney Creek, and shortly afterwards Hamilton Beach Church was also included, with the same rector serving all three. However, as the result of population growth in the area, the two Beach churches were detached once again from The Church of the Redeemer in 1917.
See history of the church in Anglican Church files, also church history in filing cabinet.
