Telling the Story
Burke Mountain Global Community is a new English mission church of The Presbyterian Church in Canada. Partnered with Soojung Presbyterian Church in the region of northeast Coquitlam of Vancouver, it seeks to draw together all nations to be a global and multicultural community. After a year of preparation and prayer, we have established three core families for ministry and ten members.
Four key words provide the cornerstones for this ministry: evangelism, youth, multiculturalism and community. We have three main outreach ministries to connect with neighbours of all nations and generations in the newly developing Burke Mountain community. GYM Nights, evangelical meetings with special guest speakers, and a soup kitchen program have helped us make inroads into the community.

We are excited to report that we finally have a stated minister, Pastor Brian Choi, who graduated from Regent College with an M. Div. and has worked with the Korean Campus Mission at the campus of UBC and as chaplain for students at St. Andrew's Hall. He is being guided to join the PCC as a member.
Regular weekly service and prayer meetings are held on Sunday mornings at the Hyde Creek Recreation Centre of Port Coquitlam. All other programs and fellowship are offered at the Rodem Centre. We welcome all people who desire to worship and love God. We are greatly appreciative of Canada Ministries’ support through Presbyterians Sharing and for prayers for our new mission.
