Our Place in Vancouver
Vancouver is a diverse city characterized by incredible beauty and affluence on one hand, yet great spiritual need and desperate social problems on the other.
- It’s a city of cultural, ethnic and political diversity.
- Tourism and film making are its prime industries.
- Entertainment and leisure occupy a high place.
- Pot is smoked openly and hard drug addictions abound.
- Prostitution flourishes in this city including the selling of children on Kiddie Row.
- It is a city open to eastern and new age religion, but is surprisingly secular. The fastest growing religious category is "none."
Grace Vancouver Westside
The Westside of Vancouver is where the "beautiful" people like to live and enjoy the beaches, sea wall, restaurants, shopping and art galleries. This area has a fairly even Caucasian/Asian population of successful young families, yuppies and busters. These are our neighbours.
Centering on Granville and Broadway, steps away from Granville Island, Gallery Row and Kits Beach, Grace Vancouver Westside is a youthful community of artists, students, professionals and young families reaching out to our community with culturally engaging ministry and message.
