Our vision is to build a God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated, prayer powered, diversity-loving, missions-mobilizing, family-strengthening, disciple-producing, joy-pursuing church that reaches out to Vancouver and the world (learn more here). To accomplish this we believe that our greatest obligation is to delight in God in all things and in all situations.

For we believe that God created us for His glory and that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him more »

We invite you to watch the following brief excerpt that summarizes just how God is now encouraging us to embrace and share his Gospel, even with some of God's greatest critics and even while in some of the most difficult circumstances.

Four Miles from Church
By Daryl Wingerd

How important is faithful church attendance for the Christian? One man who understood its importance was the father of 19th century missionary John Paton. Living four miles from their church in Dumfries, Scotland, Paton writes, “. . . during
all these forty years my father was only thrice prevented from attending the worship of God—once by snow so deep that he was baffled and had to return; once by ice on the road, so dangerous that he was forced to crawl back up the Roucan Brae on his hands and knees, after having descended it so far with many falls; and once by the terrible outbreak of cholera at Dumfries.”

What would inspire a man like Mr. Paton to attend church so faithfully? More importantly, in a day when so many cultural factors conspire to keep Christians out of church, what would inspire us to be more faithful?

Perhaps the most familiar Bible verse related to church attendance is Heb 10:23-25: “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and
good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.”

Contrary to the way this text is often applied, we do not obey by simply placing our posterior in a pew on Sunday mornings for an hour or so, as though it were a legal
requirement, and then by going about our week as if no further obligation existed. We obey by maintaining consistent and meaningful fellowship with our local church family—on Sundays in particular, but also on as many other occasions as possible. You see, Heb 10:25 is not about record-keeping or perfect attendance pins. It is about the fellowship that is essential to our survival as Christians. More>>
