Special Services

We are strengthened by our community and want to be there for them during life’s big moments. Church is a place where all generations can gather to share in life’s biggest moments. St. Andrew’s-Wesley, in Vancouver’s West End, is available to rent for baptisms, memorials, weddings, and special events. We also host services on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Easter. As an inclusive church, we welcome people of all identities and faiths to attend.

Baptism is a celebration of God’s gift of love already present for everyone. We offer Baptism for people of all ages, from infants right through to adulthood. Meet with one of our ministers to find out what Baptism means to your family and faith. Contact Jen to find out more!

Community & Worship

Jan 11

Eat Pray Love is a gathering for all ages. A time of singing and story and prayer, a time to to be creative and a time to share a meal and conversation together. We will be gathering 5 times this year to celebrate the seasons of Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost. This gathering will happen at St. Andrew’s Wesley and at Christ Church Cathedral as we collaborate together.

Community & Spirituality

Wednesdays in January

The Heart of Christianity: this ancient spiritual path is liberating and life-giving, and can also be bewildering. What are we “supposed” to believe, and does belief even matter? How can we grow in faith? What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus, and who was the historical Jesus, anyway? These and other essential questions will be addressed and discussed in our five-week Epiphany series that we all might be “rooted and grounded in love.”

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.
