History Biographical: 

The Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish is comprised of six churches: St. Mark's Anglican Church (Milford Bay, Ont.), St. John's Anglican Church (Beaumaris, Ont.), St. James’ the Apostle (Port Carling, Ont.), Christ Anglican Church (Gregory, Ont.), St. James' Anglican Church (Mortimer's Point, Ont.), and St. George's Anglican Church (Port Sandfield, Ont.). The parish has three points and two occasional churches. In 2014, the parish was structured that during the winter months the three congregations would share services between two churches: St. Mark's and St. James' the Apostle. Yearly services to be held in St. James' at Mortimer's Point and St. George's at Port Sandfield. 

The Mission Parish that would become the Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish began around 1870, with Port Carling at its centre and the Gregory and Port Sandfield churches as outstations. The services were irregularly held in Port Carling by clergymen from Bracebridge and a few lay readers from the area.

St. James’ the Apostle was the first church built in 1881. Following this, the Christ Anglican Church in Gregory and St. John's in Beaumaris were built in 1891; one year later the St. George's Church in Port Sandfield was built. St. Mark's was built between 1910 and 1920. The first appointed clergyman to the area was Rev. E. Stubbs in 1884.

In 1914 the parish was gifted a “disappearing propeller boat” to make travel between the churches easier. Unfortunately, Rev. T. W. Bucklee drowned making this trip on December 9, 1923.

The Parish of Muskoka Lakes gained its name in 1994. Between 1993 and 1997, the parish became self-supporting.
