Renfrew's Places of Worship open their doors, welcome and invite you to attend their religious services.

Catholic, Protestant and Non-Denominational Places of Worship have historically made up a strong component of our community and continue to play an important role in many lives.

The first church built in Renfrew was the Methodist Episcopal church in 1840, followed by the Presbyterian church in 1847, the first Roman Catholic church St. Francis Xavier in 1853, and the Anglican church in 1889, giving Renfrew some of its most beautiful architectural structures.

Walk through any of the area's churches and unlock the history of the town. For example, visit St. Paul's Anglican church and see the evidence of the fire which destroyed the church in 1900. Rebuilt shortly afterwards, it is one of the only churches left in town with a wooden interior.

Today, Renfrew has over twelve places of worship, many of which are still the original churches. Free Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Anglican, United, Lutheran, Brethren, Salvation Army, Pentecostal, Christian Reform, Jehovah's Witness and the Shiloh Retreat Centre all contribute to making Renfrew a community with strong values.
