Children, Youth & Families

From the challenges of parenting, to the changes that come with growing up, we’re here to support you. We bring in guest speakers, host parenting sessions, youth groups, summer camps, and intergenerational gatherings. There’s something for everyone, whatever stage you’re at in life.

Sunday Club

Sundays at 9:15AM

Want a spiritual education for your child that is fun, accessible and progressive? Sunday Club is where friendships are formed, and age-appropriate curriculum, activities and games will help your children learn about the Bible, explore their questions, and honour their own spiritual insights.

We value Godly Play curriculum that makes meaning through story, wonder and play.

We have age-specific programs for children and youth aged 3-18 along with a nursery care program for those under 3.

The Stories We Tell

SpiritPride

SpiritPride is an LGBTQ2A+ affirming event that gathers communities who want to celebrate, share and find a place to explore spirituality and LGBTQ2A+ Identity. This annual conference, now in it’s 6th year, is an important place of healing for many who have been told they can’t reconcile their faith or spirituality and affirm their gender and sexual identity too.

Lecture

Overcoming Obstacles to Love

Join Thomas Oord for an evening lecture. Could a loving God abandon us? Or permit evil? Does God actually like us? And what might our love look like amid violence, worry, crisis, political dissension, climate change, and more? Thomas Jay Oord answers these questions as he explores what it means to imitate a loving God (Eph. 5:1). Free Public Lecture July 14th, 2022, at 7pm

Our Place
In the World

St. Andrew’s-Wesley respectfully acknowledges that we gather on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. For thousands of years, First Nations people have walked on this land and their relationship with the land is at the centre of their lives and spirituality. As a church, and settlers on these shores, we have a life-long responsibility to unlearn our misunderstandings of history, territory, and identity through critical reflection, acknowledgement, and listening.
