History
The Parish of St. John the Divine in Courtenay is one of two Anglican parishes serving the people of the Comox Valley of Vancouver Island, the other being St. Peter's in Comox.
One of the "daughter churches" that sprang forth from St. Andrews, the first mission, in the Comox Valley during the 19th century, was St. John The Divine which was built in 1915. This occurred under the direction of the then, Vicar, the Rev. E.P. Laycock, who was a trained architect.
