Welcome to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church 

You Are Welcome Here!

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 peoples, land, waters, air, vegetation, and all creatures.

We welcome people of all races,  sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. We welcome everyone regardless of social, economic or relationship status; and regardless of physical, mental, or spiritual condition. We are wheel-chair accessible and have single stall bathrooms. We are a "Reconciling in Christ" congregation and connected to Lutherans Concerned - North America.

 We ask that you stay home if you feel unwell, in order to minimize transmission of respiratory viruses.  We respect each person's decision regarding the wearing of masks. We continue to have sanitizing stations at the entrances to our building. We have a large sanctuary space that provides enough space for everyone to spread out. We encourage everyone who qualifies to keep their COVID-19 vaccinations up to date. Vaccines, including boosters, remain the best way to protect against severe disease, hospitalization and death. They may also help prevent long-term complications from COVID-19 infection.
