History / Biography: The following history was taken from 2002 publication called Emmanuel Anglican Church Photo Directory: "The birth of Emmanuel Anglican Church, Arnprior took place in 1861, the year the town was incorporated, when Rev. Morris came from Fitzroy Harbour to conduct services. Early services were held in the Orange Lodge over the Blacksmith's shop (corner of Daniel and Rock Lane), and the upper flat of the Arnprior Public School House, where Rev. Oris Hackett held the first confirmation class in 1863. The church and rectory were built in 1869. The church spire, a porch and organ were added at a later date, Emmanuel's Centennial Year 1961, saw the construction of the Parish Hall dedicated to the memory of Carlton Reid on land donated by Mr. Eric McLachlin. Major renovations were required to the rectory in 1988 following a fire. During this restoration the back of the building formerly known as the servant's quarters was removed. After over 124 years of standing the church required some repair and in 1993 an extensive structural restoration began. It is still possible to "buy a brick today". The last 4 years have seen many changes to the beauty of Emmanuel. In 1999 the interior of the Church was painted and new carpeting was installed. In April 2000 the church's organ underwent a full restoration at a cost of $20,000.00. The year 2000 saw many changes to the look of the Parish Hall. The kitchen was completely remodeled and modernized. In the fall of 2000 an office extension was completed. This extension allows the Rector and the Secretary to be in close working contact. It also included a handicap assessible washroom as well as an automated door. On December 15, 2001 Bishop Peter Coffin announced that a new rector had been appointed to Emmanuel. January 27, 2003 Linda Hill began her ministry with Emmanuel." Priests who have served at Emmanuel, Arnprior: 1867-1870 Rev. C.T. Denroche 1870-1878 Rev. E.W. Beaven 1878-1884 Rev. K.C.
