What Is North Shore Unitarians?

North Shore Unitarians is a Unitarian congregation based in West Vancouver, British Columbia, and northshoreunitarians.ca is its official website. It serves as the online home for the community, providing information about Sunday services, events, beliefs, and the various ways the congregation engages with its members and the wider public.

Location and Sunday Services

The congregation gathers every Sunday at 10:30 AM in its Sanctuary at:

The website notes that services are "full of insight, inspiration, and meaningful connection," and that a different speaker leads each week. Recent services can be watched online, and upcoming services are listed on the site.

Beliefs and Approach to Spirituality

The site describes North Shore Unitarians as "people of many paths." According to the website:

  • Some members have a religious background; some do not.
  • Some believe in God; some don't; "some let the mystery be."

The congregation presents itself as "a different kind of church," with rotating speakers each week who inspire members to "create more peace, justice, and love in our lives and in the world." Its approach to spirituality acknowledges that each person is on their own journey while emphasizing that "we need one another along the way."
