Life Events
Our congregation and worship team are here for you at any stage of life, whether celebrating baptism, the joining of two people in marriage, or the passing of a loved one.
Baptism
Baptism is a celebration of welcome and belonging for persons of any age. We celebrate with infants & children based on promises made by their guardians, or with adults as a profession of their own faith. Baptisms occur by request and are always part of the community worship service on Sunday mornings.
Please contact us at 604-261-6377 or admin@shuc.ca to discuss this with our ministry staff.
Weddings

Shaughnessy Heights United Church is the perfect place for you to celebrate your union. Our beautiful sanctuary with Cassavant pipe organ is available for rental.

We are happy to help you plan and officiate a memorial for your loved one. Our Sanctuary or small Chapel is available for services and our Hall is also available as a reception space afterward.

Our team of memorial service hosts is ready to help you extend hospitality to family and friends before and after the service.
