In Zechariah 4:10, God the Father says:
"Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.”
St. John's Vancouver is called to be a sending church. In alignment with the priorities of our diocese, we are committed to training ministers and planting churches across Canada. We are committed to seeing the good work of sharing the Gospel begin and continue for generations to come.
How it Works
It all starts with a nudge from God to plant a church. From there, we support leaders in a discernment process in partnership with the ADOC and a trusted third-party. If all is approved, the St. John's clergy & Board of Trustees work with you on your next steps.

Our Plants
How to Get Involved
Pray
Pray for these plants, for their leaders, for their congregations, and for the neighbourhoods they serve.
Give
Planting is costly in time, energy, and finance. Financial gifts go a long way for these teams in their pursuit of evangelism.
You can give to these churches directly, or to our church planting fund which supports current and future planting initiatives.
