How to Get Involved or Become a Member of North Shore Unitarians

Updated

North Shore Unitarians welcomes people of many paths, and the site gives several clear ways to move from visitor to participant: attend a Sunday service, explore events, subscribe to the quarterly newsletter, or use the "Becoming a Member" section. For direct questions, call (604) 926-1621 or email [email protected]. The site does not publish a membership fee or application deadline, so confirm those details directly.

Start by attending a Sunday service

The most natural first step is to show up. Services are held every Sunday at 10:30 AM in the Sanctuary at 370 Mathers Ave, West Vancouver, BC V7S 1H3.

  • What to expect: Different speakers each week, with services described as full of insight, inspiration, and meaningful connection.
  • Who it's for: People with a religious background, people without one, those who believe in God, those who don't, and those who "let the mystery be."
  • If you can't attend in person: The site offers a "Watch Recent Services" option, so you can get a feel for the community before visiting.

Explore what the community offers

Beyond Sunday services, the site lists several ways to engage:

Area What it covers
Events Upcoming events and a calendar
Environmental Action A focused engagement group
Music and Community Musical and community activities
Weddings, Memorials & Ceremonies Ceremonies, including a Lay Chaplain
Rent Our Space Space rental for outside groups

If you're unsure where you fit, attending a service or an event first is the lowest-commitment way to find out.

Become a member

The site has a dedicated "Becoming a Member" section, which is the place to look for the actual process. The homepage does not state membership requirements, fees, or timelines, so treat the member page and a direct inquiry as your sources for those specifics.

Once you join, there is a Members' Area on the site for member-specific content.

Stay updated

The site invites visitors to subscribe to its quarterly newsletter by email. This is a low-commitment way to hear about services, events, and community news before deciding on membership.

Support the community

If you want to contribute without (or before) becoming a member, the site has a "Support Us" section. North Shore Unitarians is a registered charity (Charitable Registration Number #119061414 RR 0001).
