Our Story
A legacy of faith, service, and community in Surrey, British Columbia
Vancouver Forest Presbyterian Church Foundation has been a beacon of hope and faith in the Surrey community for over 25 years. Founded on the principles of Reformed theology and guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, our church has grown from a small gathering of believers into a vibrant, diverse community of faith.
Our name reflects our dual identity: rooted in the Presbyterian tradition while embracing the natural beauty and diversity of our Pacific Northwest home. Like the fishing boat and cross in our logo, we are called to be "fishers of men," spreading God's love through word and deed.
Throughout our history, we have remained committed to three core pillars: worship that honors God, fellowship that builds community, and service that transforms lives. These values continue to guide us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

Everyone Belongs Here
