The congregation of Caron Prairie was organized in 1899 when Rev. J.M. Wallace, in charge of Summerside congregation held services in Caron Prairie School about 2 miles north of Caron. He was followed by Rev. MacEachen and Rev. M.J. Lieth(1902-05). The Ladies Aid was formed in 1902 and the Women's Missionary Society in 1912. In 1903 a Sunday School and Christian Endeavor were organized.

In 1905, at a meeting held at John Campbell's, it was decided to build a church on the farm of Dan Ferguson. The cornerstone was laid on July 25, 1906, by Mrs. A.H. Powell, who was presented with the silver trowel, which is now in the possession of the family. Mrs. Wm. Smith suggested the name "Knox" (Presbyterian). This congregation, with Caron and Summerside, formed one Pastoral Charge with one session. The church was of cement blocks, which later proved to be a mistake and it had to be taken down.

In 1909, a new building was erected on the old foundation. The work of the church was rather interrupted until 1915. There is a record of the congregation supporting the Belgium Relief Fund in WW I with a collection taken at the Christmas concert. During the '30's times were difficult for the Church, and ministers of the day coped, as did the people. The ministers, like others, received little cash; so the adherents of the church, each Sunday, brought donations of food for his family (and a hamper at Christmas time). Each Sunday, a family would be responsible for providing Sunday dinner for him on his way to his next charge, Summerside. During one of the worst dust storms, Mr. Pollock related that the singing of the people was so genuine that he was given strength to carry on in spite of the many difficulties.

The period from 1945-49 is sketchy. No one continued Mrs. D. Ferguson's work of keeping the records after her death in 1945. The war was over and our returning veterans were accorded a "Welcome Home." In 1947 a memorial plaque was unveiled in honor of Stanley Hay and Gordon Koehler, who had made the supreme sacrifice in WW II.

By 1949, the basement had deteriorated to the point where it should be replaced. The cornerstone of 1906 and 1909 was used again with 1949 added, and a tin box with various manuscripts placed in the stone. The church was moved to its new site and volunteer labor aided in finishing the church for use on May 14, 1950, with Rev. J. Wilkinson conducting the service. In cold weather services were held in nearby schools.

In 1970, because of dwindling population in the district, reduced membership having difficulties in carrying on, a unanimous decision was made to close the Church. The final service was held on June 28, 1970, with Rev. Hazel Heffren, the last minister. The building was torn down in 1979.

The cornerstone and box were retrieved. It was found that moisture had ruined the contents of the box. A cairn was erected at the original site of the church and the cornerstone is part of it.
