History:  Up to 1956, the majority of the Christian Reformed people in the Georgetown area attended the Immanuel Christian Reformed Church in Brampton, Ontario.  Since the church building was becoming overcrowded, one of the largest groups from the Georgetown–Glen Williams area made plans to establish a new congregation in Georgetown.  Around that time, there was a building for sale at 55 Main Street South in Georgetown.  It was large enough to be made into a meeting place and was acquired by the Brampton consistory for this "group".  On 27 January 1957, the Georgetown CRC had their first Sunday service on their own as a congregation.  While renovations and cleaning were being done to the building at 55 Main Street South, the first services involving 46 families were held in the Esquesing Community Hall in Stewarttown, Ontario.  When the building was ready, a dedication service was held on Wednesday, 17 July 1957.

Since the congregation was growing, planning began in 1961 to find a more suitable place to buy some property where a good church building could be built.  A serious attempt was made to acquire some property in the planned Moore Park subdivision in March 1966, but the planning there was not yet ready for approval and it could take another three years before construction would begin.  The present site of the Georgetown CRC and the Georgetown District Christian School was bought and the church was built in 1966-67.  The dedication service was held on 10 February 1967.  Since the old Main Street South building had been sold prior to the building of the new one, services were held in the Georgetown High School.  Nine years were spent worshipping in the Main Street South building.
