In the summer of 1910, a student minister, Mr. David Gray, was delegated by Presbytery to establish a missionary charge in Kerrisdale, which at the time had no local churches. The first services were held at a private home on West 41st Ave. After changing its early identity from Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church to Knox Presbyterian Church, Knox became a part of the new United Church of Canada in 1925.

The existing Knox Church building was completed on the Balaclava site in 1948. On September 13, 1970, a modern Fellowship Centre was opened beside the church sanctuary. In 1975, when a fire destroyed the old original building on the site, a multipurpose building and kitchen were added to the Fellowship Centre.

The Knox Sanctuary is a designated Vancouver heritage building, while its Fellowship Centre serves many church and community needs, such as Playschool, Scouting and an Education Centre. It also provides meeting and rehearsal space for many arts activities and community groups.
