choir-director through the 1970s was Howard Leyton-Brown, the head of the music department at Regina Campus, later the University of Regina and ministers of St. Andrew's were highly eminent and visiting national leaders of the United Church would guest-preach there. Ethnicity of that area of Regina has changed in recent years and the congregation of St. Andrew's drastically fell but with its well-earned reputation for vitality and service, it relocated to Knox-Met rather than shutting down, and holds its Sunday services in the chapel. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian congregation dedicated their first place of worship in November 1907…. Knox Church had its beginning in 1883 and by 1907 was concerned about the fifty Presbyterian families located north of the CPR. Consequently, St. Andrew’s Hall in the 2700 block Dewdney was built for a new congregation." The second dedication…took place in December 1916 in the St. Andrew’s Church, Dewdney Avenue and Retallack Street….[I]n 1925…the congregation as a whole became St. Andrew’s United….A building fund was set up in 1927, but plans were interrupted by a depression and a world war…. St. Andrew’s had the distinction of having had only three ministers in its first forty years. Rev. F.H. Morgan began his ministry in October 1949 with the responsibility of piloting the building programme….with the rapid completion of the church in 1951 and the mortgage retirement in 1955….Under the guidance of Rev. G.L. Toombs (1956-61) buildings were extended in the building of the Christian Education Hall…. A new manse was built at Montague Street and 8th Avenue....Despite St. Andrews’ liveliness, substantial music and prosperity, a pipe organ was never built there, it remaining confined to a two-manual electric organ until the closure of its building. Carmichael Presbyterian-cum-United Church in the east end was also a daughter congregation of Knox. Once a thriving church, its Sunday services were broadcast on radio. The east end significantly changed in character and Carmichael closed. Its clergy furniture wound up in the hands of the University of Regina, which uses it for degree ceremonies in the Saskatchewan Centre of the Arts. Knox-Met activity Knox-Met is the major venue for downtown choral concerts, organ recitals and the annual Rotary Carol Festival. The Rotary Club began sponsorship of a Regina Festival of Christmas Carols ca 1940 at Knox-Metropolitan [sic] United Church. Such musical activity is accompanied by the three-manual Casavant Frères organ pipe organ that was installed in 1974. Like
