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.

Our Brief History
St. Matthias & St. Luke Anglican Church started in July 1997 by the merging of the St. Matthias and St. Luke congregations. The Parish was officially established on July 16, 2000.

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.

Our Vision
We seek to glorify God in all we undertake; to witness to those who seek God; to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ and to build up the Parish as:
An Equipping Church
The church believes every parishioner is a provider of good news. As an equipping church, we are called to equip every parishioner for their own ministry.
A Praying Church
The church not only believes in prayer ministry but actively develops its prayer ministry. We believe that unless we cling to God by prayers, we are powerless.
A Healing Church
The church welcomes those who are hurt, being abandoned, or neglected. The church is willing to share the healing experience of love, forgiveness and acceptance with those who would like to seek the same from Christ.
A People Church
Every person who is called by God will exercise his spiritual gifts to serve the church. Each parishioner is a minister appointed by God for a ministry and for the world. A people church recognizes that Christ is the Head of the Church and that God is actively involved in the church and directing the church.
