St. Andrew's Wesley United Church

Went here to see the Vancouver youth choir, great acoustics and lovely to see what the youth choir is up to!

It's a church with a big part of the history of Vancouver and the history of the United Church of Canada. It's also a church that's one of the biggest in reaching out to the LGBT community of Vancouver. Also offers unique things like Jazz Vespers.

Fastest response time I've ever seen as I explain here:First time I went there I couldn't find a parking spot. It's super hard to find a spot in that part of Vancouver and I had to drive around a few blocks without success until I ended up in front of the church for the second time.Tired of driving around, I challenged God: show me that you exist by giving me a parking spot." Immediately a car pulled out of its parking right in front of St. Andrews. I parked and went in to listen to the service.I have not seen such a fast response time near any other place of worship. If this does not make you believe in St. Andrews

I visited here for an Easter Choir performance. Beautiful old church feel with the stained glass, high ceilings, and amazing pipe organ!

I’m biased as I’m a member and attend regularly, but this is warm wonderful community with a great mix of old and young, straight and gay, singles, couples, and families, all mixing and connecting. This is no ‘old and dying church - it’s a vibrant community with a wide range of programs, both on weekends and throughout the week. And to get a feel for what to expect on a Sunday, one of the ministers always opens the services with this: “we are an open-hearted, open-minded, inclusive church that walks in the path of Jesus because we long for greater peace, love and justice in the world. No matter who you are,no matter who you love, all of you is welcome here.” On top of all that there’s our beautiful cathedral style building that just completed a 2-3 year full restoration in 2022.

Absolutely beautiful piece of Vancouver history - especially after the renovations! You'd be surprised how much of the original church (est. 1920s-30s) is still there.

We were at Saint Andrew's Wesley's United Church for Chor Leoni's Christmas concert. The church has recently undergone a renovation and restoration and looks magnificent! Although I don't know if this is a permanent change, the pews have been replaced with chairs which are extremely comfortable and made sitting through the performance even better. The acoustics of the church are wonderful and are an ideal venue for this type of concert. While it's a long ways off until the next Christmas concert, I would highly recommend this performance for next year, you will not be disappointed!

The renovation of this church is spectacular! The high beams, stain glass windows and comfortable seating (no more pews) is awesome! Also the church is more wheelchair accessible now to other areas which is great! A truly wonderful experience being in this church and listening to music being sung by Chor Leoni.

Loved hearing the Universal Gospel Choir lunch hour event at this gorgeous downtown church. (UGC). Would like to go back for more jazz events, or more of hearing this amazing choir with excellent band, and great soloists. (Sound system or ? needs to be improved a little) Enjoyable day but expensive parking anywhere downtown.

Beautiful chirch that was generously sharing their space with the baptists while the baptist church is being tenovated. Thoroughly enjoyed the Easter service
