The Anglican Parish of St. John the Baptist, Cobble Hill

Welcome to the Anglican Parish of St. John the Baptist, Cobble Hill

You do not have to be baptized, or familiar with church procedures, to be welcome among us. If we can help you by praying for you, whether you come to church or not, please contact our priest the Rev. Canon Dr. John Alfred Steele.

We are an Anglican parish in the Diocese of British Columbia, and a member of the Anglican Church of Canada.

Thank you!

We are very pleased and grateful to the Anglican Foundation of Canada for their provision of a grant to allow us to put a new roof on our beautiful little church!

The work on the roof has now been completed!

Worship services no longer have capacity limits. We do encourage you to wear a mask if you so choose, however it is no longer mandatory.

Our Patronal Festival - June 24

Did you know we celebrate the birth of St John the Baptist - just after the spring solstice as the days are getting shorter and John proclaimed in John 3.30 "He must increase but I must decrease."?

We celebrate the birth of Jesus after the winter solstice because the days are getting longer and "the true light has come into the world and the darkness will not overcome it".

The commemoration of the saints is an important part of our Anglican tradition. We commemorate the saints and acknowledge their contribution to the life of the Church through the inspiration they exemplify through Christ's living example found in their lives. We acknowledge their lives on the date of their death - which we also do for St John the Baptist on Aug 29th.
