You Are Welcome Here!
Gloria Dei is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada.
We welcome people of all races, sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.

Our building is wheelchair accessible and has single stall bathrooms. We are a "Reconciling in Christ" congregation and connected to ReconcilingWorks.
Land Acknowledgment
We gather for worship on the unceded, traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, who for millennia have lived, worked, and played upon these lands and paddled the waters of the Salish Sea. We give thanks for the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations and their stewardship of these lands. With the Creator’s guidance we commit to caring for this earth in ways that bring respect, reconciliation, healing, and wholeness to the land, waters, air, vegetation, creatures, and all peoples.
