ELCIC

 

Grace is a church rooted in the Lutheran tradition as part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the BC Synod .... and open to the Holy Spirit's transforming ways today through tomorrow.

All are Welcome

You are CREATED by God, LOVED just as you are

and we WELCOME you!

Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church is a spiritual home where your faith will be nurtured. Together we can worship, pray, gather in fellowhip, study and serve God’s beloved world, following Jesus Christ, as He intended.

Gatherings at Grace celebrate community and All are Welcome. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation and we commit to welcome:

• all people regardless of race, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expressions, nationality, ethnicity, marital status, social or economic status, physical or mental ability, political stance, or theological perspective.
• your God-given gifts in our community.
• your voice as a source of knowledge and as a partner in our community.
• your participation in the Holy sacraments of communion and baptism.
• the use of Grace church for all, including for 2SLGBQTIA+ weddings and blessings.
• a place where all feel safe and equal.

We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation. Reconciling in Christ (RIC) is a program for  Lutheran communities of faith to answer the inclusive call of the Gospel by welcoming people of all sexual orientation and gender identities.

Children/Youth

Children and Youth are not just the church of tomorrow but are a vital part of the church today.

Sunday School 

No formal Sunday School currently, but children are certainly welcome at worship services. There are colouring and activity sheets to use at the kids' table in the Sanctuary, where they can listen, pray, sing, and take part in the service.
