They can point you in the right direction. (This should be easy, as they smile and say some sort of good morning as you walk in. So take your time and stop for a chat! You don't have to rush past.) The people here are lovely, so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with the people around you in the auditorium or find someone wearing a "staff" lanyard if you're looking for more "official" conversation about the church. Note: There's coffee available by donation and water, both at the cafe downstairs and a small station upstairs. You can take it into the auditorium, too. The preaching is solid, as others have mentioned. You can tell that the pastor knows his stuff and is passionate about the Word of God. I love that they give time for response at the end of sermons, which includes the opportunity to take communion. They do have gluten free communion at the front table, which is so nice and not something you see at every church. For those like me, it's much appreciated! The worship is beautiful. I loved seeing the passion on the team's faces. They light up as they sing and play, and it's beautiful. I got chills at one point during worship at the end of service today -- presence of God ushered in. Love it! It's a great church from what I've seen. And my friend who lives here says such good things about it. If you live here, give it a try, and seriously consider getting involved in a community group. They are the best way to get plugged in and make friends. I spent the afternoon with several of my friend's small group members after church and they were all so friendly and welcoming. This church is full of people who truly care about knowing and following Jesus and it shows.

A regular, fairly traditional 10:30 AM Sunday service that often runs to an hour and a half with music from the large Casavant organ that ranges from sublime to majestic. Many times there are also professional guest musicians from various cultures and traditions. The afternoon Jazz service is also by voluntary donation and features professionals from around the city with little talking and lots of good music. The 7 pm evening contemplative service is predominantly candle-lit, calm and relaxing with guest musicians and small professional vocal ensemble to lead in the calm singing. Various activities for seniors, youth, parents & tots, The Word is Out for gay people to gather, share a meal and discuss topics of concern, a young people's evening of a meal and social fun (not an overtly religious gathering, open to all faiths) plus a welcoming to strangers conversation and coffee group. Free parking on Sundays in the underground parkade reached through the alley between the hotel and church off of Burrard. The venue is wheel chair accessible and sexual orientation is irrelevant. The recent rebuild have kept the interior and exterior looking the same but have brought better acoustics and lighting as well as cushioned seating. Also home to the longest aisle in Western Canada so often used for weddings and large memorial services. Seats just under 1,000 people. Also home to many TV and movie shoots plus public concerts. A particular favourite has been the Royal College of Organists Hallowe'en spooky music concert, also by donation, with some of the regions best organists playing themes ranging from Bach to video games, with cookies and punch after to raise money for their scholarship fund. A great place to attend a concert whether in the soaring sanctuary or intimate chapel.

What a wonderful, beautiful church - and amazing venue for a musical performance! The high, vaulted ceilings, the old, stone walls, the jeweled colors of the stained glass windows, the cavernous, open space - wow, just lovely. Even our wooden pew seat was comfortable (surprisingly). And the acoustics were just fabulous, too. We sat in the "south transept" area which flanks the stage on the east. My only minor gripe is that the seating diagram online didn't realistically portray where our chosen seats would be in relation to the stage (I knew which row we'd be in but the seats' angle to the stage front was quite off). That said, it was still great, and we enjoyed the show enormously and this church venue was truly special.

One thing that made this church different from all the others, I visited and explored is the practical help provided.

First off, let me say that I am not religious, so I do not go to this church. The reason I am able…read moreto even write anything about this church is that my late grandfather used to attend this church on a weekly basis. When my grandfather passed away, Pastor Frank Klassen came to our family house and offered condolences and also helped us with the funeral arrangements which were very sudden. Just his loving, and caring nature for my grandparents during the time, and offering the church to have the funeral was very nice. Talking about how my grandparents use to always come on Sundays, and occasionally stay for the potluck thrown here was a very nice, and peaceful place. It is a multi-cultural church, as you can see once you enter by all the multi launguage literature. Pastor Frank was very nice to invite anyone to come for the Sunday service, and helped in the ceremony with the arrangements. He still occasionally visits my grandmother at the care home, and provided much support to my family during this hard time. The turn around time from when my grandfather passed away, to the funeral was 5 days, and it went as well as it could have been. This church is fairly big in size, and houses offices and a kitchen in the back, there is a basement where childrens workshops, judging from the art on the walls is displayed, take place. I do not think you can recommend church's to anyone, but this is my review of everything that happened not too long ago, and one of the thanks has to go out to this church, and the people who make this place run.

On Sunday morning people bring their best smile, best attire and carry on pretending everything is polished and perfect. I know I was one of those people. Cityview Church is unique. People there are authentic! They are interested to know what really is happening in your life and actually has the willingness to listen. No pretense that things are perfect when it's not, and there is freedom in that. Trevor Josh, the senior pastor never put himself in pedestal and the people are being challenged, tested and growing in the Lord. It is a small church and known for it's "big heart". The congregation is consist with Entrepreneurs, Accountants, Medical Practitioners, Community Weaver and Developers, Engineers, Teachers, Retired persons, stay home moms, the waywards and in between. This congregation is very diverse, but one thing in common..."saved by Grace and loving Jesus Christ". Don't take my word as grain of salt- consider checking Cityview Church, located on 4370 Sophia Street near 28th and Main in Vancouver.

It was definitely a mega church - something very uncommon in this part of town. There were probably enough seats for over 1300 people, as there were two levels for seating. The seats were made out of wood and they were cloth covered. The seats didn't feel uncomfortable, but they were just perfect in terms of firmness. The lighting and sound system was very good. I did find the singing Christmas tree to be almost creepy - singing heads as tree ornaments? - but their Christmas message during the show resonates with people of all faiths. This is definitely a rock concert style church, and not your one piano and classical guitar type of setting.
