Children and families
Sunday school, a nursery with actual adults in it, and a monthly family supper that finishes before bedtime.

An Anglican community in New Westminster
A place to belong, before you have it all figured out.
Two services on Sunday, a warm room on Wednesday, and a community that shows up with casseroles when life falls apart. Come as you are — that isn't a slogan here, it's the actual dress code.
Where to find us
418 Carnarvon Street, New Westminster
What to expect
Kids program at both services. Coffee after.
What happens here
The week, in short.
Beyond Sunday, the building is busy. Most of it is open to anyone, and none of it requires you to sign anything.

Our story
Old building, stubbornly open doors.
St Aidan's has been on this corner for a hundred and twenty-eight years. The congregation is smaller than it was in 1955, and the neighbourhood around it is entirely different. Both of those things are fine with us.
We are not trying to be the church your grandmother went to, or the church a marketing consultant would design. We sing, we eat, we read the same texts everyone else does, and we try to be useful to the street we're on.

Where people plug in.
Every one of these is run by volunteers who would happily have one more pair of hands.
Outreach
The food bank, the winter shelter roster, and the refugee sponsorship group that has settled four families since 2019.
Music
Choir, handbells, and the contemporary band. Rehearsals are open; the kettle is always on.
