We are a group of born-again Christians gathered unto the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is our desire to follow the pattern of worship and Christian fellowship found in the New Testament. We regularly meet for worship, prayer, Bible teaching and to share the good news of God’s salvation.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
2 TIMothy 3:16-17
Since 1909, we have met as a local Christian Assembly in East Vancouver. Our assembly resembles thousands of other independent, autonomous Christian assemblies locally and worldwide who uphold fundamental biblical doctrines and practices.

What’s a Christian Assembly?
An assembly is a company of baptized believers (Acts 2:42), gathered unto the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:20, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; 5:4, etc.) who meet regularly in a particular locality according to the pattern found in the New Testament (Acts 2:41-42), and developed fully in such epistles as 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. Such an assembly is a spiritual fellowship (1 Corinthians 10:16-17), which is expressed visibly as they meet for the breaking of bread, prayer, collective testimony, the teaching of the Word of God and the preaching of the gospel. They have been gathered together by the Holy Spirit (Mark 14:13, Romans 8:14); their sole authority is the Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17), and they have the promise of Christ to be in their midst (Matthew 18:20). They are a residence of the Holy Spirit on earth, so they are a temple unto the Lord (1 Corinthians 3:15-16). Such an assembly is guided by godly overseers and served by faithful deacons in both a temporal and spiritual ministry (I Timothy 3:1-16). The priesthood of all believers is exercised in worship, praise and prayer, and the gifts, given by the risen Head of the church (Ephesians 4:8-13), have liberty to function under the control of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 14:23-40). There is a clear line of demarcation between the within and without of an assembly and purity is maintained be a careful, compassionate and godly exercise of discipline (1 Corinthians 5:1-13).
