Who we are

Stanley Park Community Church has a heart for our surrounding community.   We plan to develop a new vision of how our community can embrace the call to live together and disciple one another across generations and experiences.  This last year has taught us that our children's ministry is no longer limited to one hour in person on Sunday mornings. We now have an open door to engage children remotely.

Our Church Vision

To be a community of believers who are growing in the Knowledge, Likeness, and Lifestyle of Jesus. To see our faith transform the lives of those in the Stanley Park Neighbourhood and the neighbourhoods we live in.

We hope that you will dream up ways we can reach out to our neighbours in creative and meaningful ways!
