| Our belief |
|
We believe in the one true Trinity God, the Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit. We believe that God the Father is the creator of Heaven and
earth. We believe that Jesus Christ, God the Son, was born of the
Virgin Mary. He was crucified, died and buried to pay for our sins and
to give us a new life and a restored relationship with God. We believe
that he rose again on the third day and was ascended into heaven. We
believe that Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the
dead. We believe that God the Holy Spirit is the third person of God
who guides us to know God, love Him and other people; and who empowers
us to do God's work.
We also believe that the Bible is inspired by God. It contains the Truth and is God's own Word, written by men, guided by His Spirit. |
St. Matthias' Anglican Church, originally established in 1960, was the last Anglican Church built in the city of Vancouver. It was built "in the heart of the city" and its location was chosen as the worshipping site for the present St. Matthias and St. Luke.
St. Luke's Anglican Church was established in 1894 at Marine Drive and Fraser Street and was one of the oldest Anglican churches in Vancouver. In 1958, St. Luke's Church moved to 61st Avenue and Prince Edward Street. In 1993, the St. Luke's Church began its ministry to the Chinese and worship services in Cantonese began.
Today, the amalgamated Parish of St. Matthias & St. Luke carries the tradition of both former parishes and offers worship services in English, Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese. St. Matthias & St. Luke Anglican Church is a multi-cultural parish and ministers to peoples of different cultures and needs.
