What Is The Two Saints Ministry?

Updated

The Two Saints Ministry is a progressive, inclusive Anglican Christian community in Victoria, British Columbia, made up of two congregations: St. David by-the-Sea in Cordova Bay and St. Peter in Lakehill. If you are looking for an Anglican church in the Victoria area, or want to understand what this particular ministry is and how its two locations relate to each other, the information below covers what the website states.

Two congregations, one community

The ministry describes itself as "One Community, Two Locations." Rather than a single building, it operates as a shared community across two sites:

Location Area Role
St. David by-the-Sea Cordova Bay One of the two congregation sites
St. Peter Lakehill One of the two congregation sites

Both are part of the same ministry identity, so events and worship are organized under the Two Saints name rather than as two separate churches.

Worship services

According to the site, worship is held:

  • Sundays at 10:00 am at St. Peter's, Lakehill
  • The service is also live-streamed (the site points to a "Live Stream" tab for access)
  • The site notes there are some exceptions, with details listed under its "Worship" section

If you plan to attend in person or watch online, the site advises checking the Worship page for any schedule changes rather than assuming the 10:00 am time applies every week.

What kind of church is it?

The ministry identifies itself as:

  • Anglican — part of the Anglican tradition
  • Progressive — describing its theological and community stance
  • Inclusive — welcoming in its self-description
  • Growing — presented as an active, expanding community

It is located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Getting involved

The website offers a few entry points for newcomers and regular attendees:

  • "I'm New Here" — helpful information for visitors
  • Upcoming Events — a calendar of community activities
  • Newsletter sign-up — to receive updates

Examples of listed events include:

  • Two Saints Communion — Oct 11, 10:00 AM at St. Peter, Lakehill
  • Friendship Circle — Oct 13, 1:30 PM at St. Peter, Lakehill

These illustrate the kind of gatherings the community runs, though dates and details should be confirmed on the site's events page.
