Get to know us
LifeHouse Christian Church has closed as a formal church plant and does not presently have regular gatherings. If you are looking for an organic church experience we recommend the following groups:
- Commercial Drive, 312 – 1707 Charles Street, Vancouver, BC, Call Paul at 778.823.2225 for details, The Vine – a sister church
- Yaletown (Drake and Pacific), Vancouver, BC, Call Mary-Lee at 604.684.6863 for details, downtown friends - a sister church
The role of the church is to cultivate a people who can risk being peaceful in a violent world, risk being kind in a competitive society, risk being faithful in an age of cynicism, risk being gentle among those who admire the tough, risk love when it may not be returned, because we have the confidence that in Christ we have been reborn into a new reality.

John 8:1-11 (a woman caught in adultery)
The powerful revelation is that the God of the universe–the only one who should have genuinely been offended, who could have postured himself as judge and executioner–literally lowers himself to her level and becomes her only friend, protector, and advocate. Yes, he does challenge her lifestyle and asks her to stop, but not until he has postured himself as an advocate. This is key. He addresses her head only after he has her heart.
