ABOUT US

Praxis Church is a 3 year old church planted out of Westside Church in Vancouver and Northview Church in Abbotsford. We have grown rapidly to around 700 people and run three services each Sunday morning. We are driven by the vision of seeing thousands come to faith and establishing a vibrant, gospel-proclaiming church within reach of everyone in the Okanagan, aiming to plant churches and campuses throughout our region. We meet in the heart of the city because we believe the gospel belongs at the crossroads of culture, and have a heart for reaching individuals with no background in faith. We have a large population of men who attend our church (around 60% of the congregation), but have a good representation of all age groups and cultural backgrounds present within the community. We are a Bible nerdy church that is reformed in our soteriology, continuationist in our pneumatology, missional in our ecclesiology, and complementarian in our church polity.
