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

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.

Weddings

Marriage is a sacred bond made more powerful by ritual in front of friends and family. This gorgeous heritage space features cathedral ceilings, stained glass windows, a Casavant organ and the longest aisle in Vancouver, with seating for 800 people. For a smaller, more intimate setting we have the Chapel which seats up to 50. LGBTQ and Interfaith weddings welcome and celebrated!

Memorial Services

We design memorial services to be true to the one you love and those left behind. Our beautiful, sacred space provides a peaceful environment to grieve and show gratitude to your loved one.

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.
