Walking the Path of Reconciliation Together
At Trinity-Grace United Church, we believe reconciliation is both a spiritual journey and a call to action. Located in the heart of East Vancouver's "Fraserhood," our congregation is committed to meaningful reconciliation with Indigenous peoples as we acknowledge that we gather on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples.
Our Commitment to Reconciliation
As an affirming congregation rooted in the hospitality and unconditional love of Christ, we recognize that reconciliation requires more than words—it demands ongoing relationship-building, education, and concrete action. We see reconciliation as integral to our mission of creating a community of care, generosity, and belonging.
Our Reconciling Commitment: An Ongoing Journey
As a church committed to reconciliation, we embrace our healing mission through an intersectional lens that recognizes the profound interconnections between all journeys toward wholeness. Just as we celebrate diverse sexual orientations and gender identities as sacred reflections of divine creativity, and just as we welcome all people wherever they are on their spiritual path, we stand in solidarity with those seeking to bridge divides and restore broken relationships. Our reconciling work acknowledges that healing across differences is inseparably linked to personal transformation, community restoration, and collective wellbeing. These pathways to peace do not exist in isolation but strengthen and inform one another. Our pledge to create spaces of genuine encounter, honest dialogue, and mutual understanding flows naturally from walking in the way of Jesus—a path that always leads toward a world where former divisions give way to unity without erasing uniqueness. Through this interconnected approach, we deepen our understanding of what it means to build the beloved community where all find their place at the table of grace.
