I can't and won't speak towards the religious side of this building, but as a seated event venue it's so very cool! It's one of the few impressive sandstone architecture churches in this relatively new city. Large arched ceilings and large arched stained glass windows give any event a classy and powerful cathedral feel. Acoustic music reverberates cleanly through this very live sounding venue and adds it's own unique characteristics to the listening experience. It seats around 600 people in orchestra style pew seating with a second story balcony at the back and second level side seating close to the stage. There's a large and spacious space basement level which makes for a great mingling space during intermissions.

DISCLAIMER: While my Skeptic little self has never experience Knox United Church (or any other…read morechurch, truth be told) as a religious organization, I really appreciate its role in Calgary's music community. It would seem that all of the best shows occur at Knox. It is where I have had the chance to see some of my favourite (has anyone else noticed that Yelp totally spellchecks the Canadian spelling of FAVOURITE? Probably just jealous that we spell it proper) artists perform, such as Owen Pallet, Timber Timbre, Daniel Johnston, Dan Mangan, and the list goes on. I've seen Owen Pallet a few times here, and the acoustics of the church always contain his violin music more beautifully than I have ever witnessed seeing his act at outdoor festivals or larger venues. Daniel Johnston was also completely haunting, which I believe the space contributed to a lot. The church itself aesthetically is absolutely gorgeous, and rich in history, from what I understand. The sound is something I just can't get over. Incredible. There is something about this venue that makes me all warm inside. I actually sometimes attend shows based on whether or not it is at Knox.

You probably won't see them take an offering as they only take an offering once a month unlike some church services I've been to take an offering every service. Don't be surprised if you hear clapping during the preaching or people dancing during the song service. It's a very lively church! You should come check it out. You won't be disappointed!

Mustard seed women shelter is a very great place to stay…read more They serve nutritious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the staff are friendly, very helpful and sympathetic. I am always looking forward to staff Toyosi's shift, she has excellent conflicts management skills she always made sure everyone is ok . Before I came to mustard seed women shelter, I was hopeless, depressed and fearful of the future. When I started attending the evening fellowship at mustard seed, and listening to encouraging words of faith, prayers and testimonies from the staff , my faith became stronger, faith and laughter became my friend. I have left the shelter to my own place, I was able to access financial and housing resources through the mustard seed women shelter. I am now a better person. Thank you so much!

However, the parking lot can be a bit confusing, especially if you're coming as a visitor (i.e. there are a lot of spaces designated "church members only","staff only" or "monthly permit holders only"). The church entrance (wheelchair ramp on the side of the stairs) leads to a cozy sitting room/foyer with comfy couches. The sanctuary is like an oven in the summertime (no air conditioning available), so you'd have to rely on an electric fan or cooling unit.
