St Johns Anglican Church
The St John's Anglican Church houses an outstanding collection of stained glass memorial windows by the 19th century artist, writer and designer William Morris. Commissioned by descendents of the Hon. William ('Ready Money') Robinson of Cheviot Hills, the windows were designed by Morris & Co.'s chief designer, Sir Edward Burne Jones.

Knox Presbyterian Church
The first Presbyterian church was built in Cheviot in 1896. It was burnt down in 1955. A tin church was moved onto the site in 1919 as a Sunday School and sold to the RSA in 1952.
The present church building is built with stone gathered from the Hurunui River with a lot of input from the local community. It was opened in September 1953 and the foundation stone was part of the Mansion House. In 2018 the decision was made by the Presbyterian church to sell the buildings and in August 2018 the church and hall were purchased by the Cheviot Knox Community Centre Trust on behalf of the Cheviot community.
Church services will still be held on the first Sunday of the month and Café church on the second Sunday. For more information please contact Judy Grigor on 021 027 89797 or email judygrigor38@gmail.com.
The Knox Church and hall are now maintained and run by the Trust and are available for hire for weddings, funerals, christenings and other community events. For more information contact Janine Sundberg on 021 186 4284.
