Very convenient for the holiday traveler still wishing to attend mass. We actually went at the beginning of our cruise and at the end. They welcome out of town visitors which I'm sure make up a large portion of the attendees. Another reviewer mentioned that the communion lines are with the people on the sides proceeding to the front to a kneeler and and those entering down the center returning up the same way. Seemed a little congested so we went to the side. Hadn't received communion on a kneeler in over 30 years! There are a couple of homeless with their hats out before and after mass. This is not unusual as you are in the heart of a heavily populated city. The congregation is diverse and it's interesting to see so many Chinese at a Catholic mass...but it's Vancouver after all! Aided by great acoustics in this cathedral, the choir was fantastic.

Awesome community! I enjoy attending service here as does my family. We feel welcome.read more

I've visited this church twice now. Both times were great! It's a fairly large church, so if you're…read morenew I recommend going up to one of the greeters and saying so. They can point you in the right direction. (This should be easy, as they smile and say some sort of good morning as you walk in. So take your time and stop for a chat! You don't have to rush past.) The people here are lovely, so don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with the people around you in the auditorium or find someone wearing a "staff" lanyard if you're looking for more "official" conversation about the church. Note: There's coffee available by donation and water, both at the cafe downstairs and a small station upstairs. You can take it into the auditorium, too. The preaching is solid, as others have mentioned. You can tell that the pastor knows his stuff and is passionate about the Word of God. I love that they give time for response at the end of sermons, which includes the opportunity to take communion. They do have gluten free communion at the front table, which is so nice and not something you see at every church. For those like me, it's much appreciated! The worship is beautiful. I loved seeing the passion on the team's faces. They light up as they sing and play, and it's beautiful. I got chills at one point during worship at the end of service today -- presence of God ushered in. Love it! It's a great church from what I've seen. And my friend who lives here says such good things about it. If you live here, give it a try, and seriously consider getting involved in a community group. They are the best way to get plugged in and make friends. I spent the afternoon with several of my friend's small group members after church and they were all so friendly and welcoming. This church is full of people who truly care about knowing and following Jesus and it shows.

I wish I could give them 0 stars…read more I joined crave when I was in high school not knowing what a healthy church looked/felt like. I wasn't raised in a Christian home and I had no idea what to look for in a church. I was extremely impressionable when I started going to crave. I didn't see anything wrong with a 23 year old hanging out with a bunch of kids. The "pastor" of crave would bribe kids in his complex with money and gift cards to join him in his living room for "church." I wish I had known how messed up of a situation it was then. After many years of faithfully serving at crave, I've finally left. I now have to seek therapy for the treatment I received there. The constant guilt tripping, gaslighting, gossip and micromanaging has ruined my perception of church. It's hard for me to step back into a faith community/any church because of how hurt crave has left me. If you're looking for a faith community, I would strongly suggest looking in another direction. The "pastor" of crave has had no seminary training. Crave also has no legit deacons/elders or church board of directors. There is no one overseeing what the leaders do here, therefore they do whatever they want. Speak with other pastors in the city and ask their opinion of crave. Most likely they would have already heard about marlon or crave, and most likely what they know/heard are not good things. There's a reason why no other local church collaborates with crave. When I left crave, I had an exit interview with marlon. He said that the way I was leaving his church was dishonorable and unbiblical, for what reason, idk. He tried guilt tripping me by asking who's going to take care of my city group that I'm leaving behind, amongst other things. The last interaction I had with leaders at crave was when I was trying to retrieve my belongings. After months of silence and being excommunicated the Toronto "pastor" and my old CG leader gave back my belongings (including my mom's and other family members belongings that they had graciously lent to crave) broken and dirty in a used/old trash bag. I'm appalled by how disgusting people can act just because you leave. This place is a classic example of why people hate the church. The people here don't exhibit any traits of Jesus. And the misuse of the Bible is gross and perverse. I really don't understand how people can turn a blind eye to all of these things. There's absolutely no accountability for the hurt they've caused. I'm disappointed with the amount of people who witness the abuse but are still silent. It's like being a bystander watching someone get bullied. There's a ton of other stories just like mine out there, this is not a single incident! Do your research about them and you'll find more stories just like mine. If you care about your spiritual health, do not come here.
