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.

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.
