Our History

In 1923, when the population of Chilliwack numbered about 3,000, Rev. V.L. Meyer began work here. Traveling from Vancouver, he brought the Word of God to a little group of Lutherans ... just four people to start. By the end of the year, the number had grown to 20 people and services were conducted in the member's homes. In 1930, Candidate A.H. Haake took over the work in the valley.

Calvary Church in that city.

Seniors

WE'RE ALL YOUNG AT HEART NO MATTER WHAT THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE SAYS!
Our seniors meet once a month, on the second Friday, for a potluck lunch, maybe some fun and games ... and a time of prayer and devotion. The time is 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. For our June gathering we are heading into God's great outdoors for a picnic at beautiful Gwynne Vaughn Park. Everyone welcome. Please bring something to share for the potluck lunch, and of course, invite your friends. The park is at the corner of Hope River Rd and Williams St. The parking lot entrance is on Williams St. We are not checking ID at the door, so everyone is welcome to join in this time of fellowship with those who have experienced life with all its ups and down.
