Welcome to the St. Andrew's official website, located in
beautiful Fort Langley, British Columbia. Our historic Church
has been in service for over 120 years making it one of the
oldest in BC.

Feel free to take a look inside our historic Church. Whether you
are considering joining our congregation for Sunday Worship or
considering having your Wedding Ceremony at St. Andrew's or just
curious.
Did you know that St. Andrew's is green? Not only does many
of our congregation walk or ride to the church, but we also turn
the heat down at night, keep minimal lights on in the building,
host a Kid's Swap Meet, recycle everything we can from the kitchen and run a newspaper
recycling program.
If you haven't heard about the newspaper recycling program
this is how it works. In the white shed behind the church there
is a spot to drop off your newspapers (so please do). A few
times a year we pack up the newspapers into a container, the
container gets weighed and then sent off for recycling. The
church gets paid based on the weight on the papers and the money
goes into the church for operating expenses.
If you have any suggestions to make St. Andrew's greener
please
contact us.

Welcome From Deb
On
occasion I still find myself saying that I'm the "new" minister
at St. Andrews. I guess after 8 years i can't say that anyone.
At times I can't believe I've been here this long and as I think
about my tenure here thus far I realize that I am living proof
of the saying "time flies when you're having fun".
Fun isn't a theological word. Truth be told, for most people,
fun is not the first word they'd used when they think about
church.
I suppose that for some, a word association game about church
might go like this...
Say the first word that enters your mind when you think of
church:
"boring"........"dull".............."out of
touch"....................
If that is how you've always thought about church, your in for a
SURPRISE at St. Andrews. For us - "fun" is a totally appropriate
word! There's absolutely nothing wrong with having fun either!
Just because we focus on God and on serious or important life
matters on a weekly basis, doesn't mean it needs to be sombre
and boring! If anything, the community of faith and its worship
needs to be a place of fun and joy where inspiration and hope
can touch individuals and help us be transformed, nourished and
sent forth into the world yet again each week.
Worship is casual and the community welcoming. An affirming and
inclusive congregation we join in worship, often with coffee in
hand, to celebrate the journey of faith and a God who is Love.
If you are looking for a place to explore your own faith
journey; please consider joining us at worship - or any of the
other events you will find as you browse our website.
I very much look forward to meeting you.
