Let all that you do be done in love
Welcome to St. Augustine's Marpole!
Worship with us Sundays at 10am
We are a community of open minds, open hearts, and open arms. Come as you are and be fully who you are.
You are welcome here!
We acknowledge with respect and gratitude that we worship on the traditional, ancestral and unceded lands of the Coast Salish people, in particular the Musqueam Nation. Let us pray that we may live more deeply into the calls to action from Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. May the living Christ leads us all on pathways of reconciliation and peace.

Contemplative Prayer Group
A Note from Rev Chris:
The Contemplative Prayer Group will be on a hiatus for July and August. The next Meeting will be in the church sanctuary on Thursday, September 22, 2022 at a new time: 10:30-11:30 a.m. I look forward to seeing you in the Fall at our new time!! All are welcome!
Renos and Repairs......All Done!
With many, many thanks to a grant from the Vancouver Heritage Society, many generous donors and volunteers, and our amazing contractor, our church is looking better than ever! We were able to replace the fascia and shingles at the front of the church, a beautiful new cross has been placed on our bell tower, and our magnificant bell, donated in 1954 by the CPR, was refurbished and polished. The windows on the south side of the church have also been refurbished and reinstalled to help save energy by keeping the heat in. Scroll through our image carousel to have a look!
