Types of churches in Coquitlam

Contemporary Churches in Coquitlam

Many congregations around Coquitlam Town Centre, Burke Mountain, and Westwood Plateau feature band-led worship, practical teaching, and small groups geared to busy commuters. They often meet near Evergreen Line hubs like Lafarge Lake–Douglas or Coquitlam Central, drawing young families, students from the nearby college campus, and newcomers seeking an easy on-ramp to community.

Catholic Churches in Coquitlam

Long-established parishes serve multi-generational families and immigrant communities with sacramental life, catechesis, and active outreach. Many reflect Maillardville’s Francophone heritage while also welcoming diverse parishioners from Austin Heights to Ranch Park, often coordinating with local Catholic schools and seasonal festivals.

Korean-Language Churches

Concentrated along the North Road–Burquitlam corridor near SkyTrain stations, these congregations offer services in Korean with English-language ministries for youth and second-generation members. They typically provide newcomer support, cultural fellowship, and weekday programs that fit the schedules of small business owners and students commuting across the Tri-Cities.

Mainline & Liturgical

Anglican, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and United Church congregations emphasize traditional liturgy, hymnody, and community service. Many are rooted in older neighborhoods like Maillardville and Austin Heights, hosting food banks, thrift ministries, and social-justice initiatives that connect long-time residents with recent arrivals.

#RescuedByGrace
“And that verse should stop us in our tracks. To know that someone who is perfect, sinless, in heaven, living in glory, eternal, didn't need us, looked at our life stuck in a pit and reached down and came down and rescued us and lifted us in spite of our sin, in spite of the distance, in spite of our mistakes. And if that's how God loved you when you were far away, how much more can you receive his love when you draw near?”

#FaithInAction
“we can take another step into faith filled bravery and say, God, I don't just wanna watch you do something. I wanna be a part of what you're doing in the earth. And so throughout today, I wanna give you some definitions of bravery. Here's the first one. Brave is this. It's moving from watching God do something to participating in what God is doing. This is when you show up to church, and church is no longer just a consumer experience. Now, move from it being just a passive sport to an action packed sport to say, not just coming to church to watch God do something. I'm coming believing that God wants to do something through me.”

#GodsPerfectLove
“But God demonstrated his love for us, his love that goes beyond our natural form of love, his love that reaches to those furthest from him. So, God, I thank you today. Just pause in the presence of God just to receive his love for you. It's not a gimmick. It's not something we're saying in church today just to make you feel better. It's the reality of heaven that God loved you so much that he sent Jesus to live a perfect life, die a sinner's death, rise from the dead to rescue your life, to rescue my life.”

#LoveTheUndeserving
“So in our family, I think about being brave for Rachel. I think about being brave for Avia, for Alencia, for for Wylan. It's not hard to think of being brave for them. I'd gladly, every day, lay down my life for them. I would give my life up for them. It's easy to think of being brave for the people we love, but when it comes to the Bible and scripture, there is another level up when it comes to the love of God. There's not just love for those closest to us. There's this other part of the love of God that goes beyond loving those that are easy for us to love. It's better than that love. It's the kind of love that we can only get from God. It's God's love for the undeserving.”

#GraceInWeakness
“And the fact that God chooses him should tell us something very important about God. God doesn't need us. If God needed us, God would choose all stars. But the fact that God chooses weak, God chooses unqualified, says God doesn't doesn't need us. God doesn't require human strength. He's God he's God alone. God can do all that he wants to do on his own... With his own strength. But God chooses to call the unqualified that his glory might shine through us. See, the moment you and I think that we're somehow important and God requires us, God starts looking for somebody else that has the humility to say, I'll hold your grace in my brokenness.”

#GoOn50
“Your brave moments every day is those moments where you're unqualified, but God says go. We use this line around here with our dream team all the time. We say, go on 50. Go on 50 means when you feel, like, 50% confident, go on 50. How many know that's when God shows up? It's actually making room for God to show up. If you only ever go on 100, you never need God with you. Go on 50.”

#GodChoseMe
“So if you feel underqualified, if you feel like I don't get paid enough, if you feel like I don't have enough experience, start to go on 50. Look for the everyday moments of brave and say, oh, okay, God. I'm not going in my own strength. I'm going in the strength of almighty God. And I just want you to say this with me. God's chosen me. Come on, say it out loud. God's chosen me. Didn't need you, he chose you. Say it one more time with some boldness. God chose me. Thank”

#BraveLove
“Who would you die for? When Jesus answered that question, the answer was you. The answer was me. The answer was those close, and the answer was those far. It was God demonstrating the full extent of his love. Brave equals giving yourself for others, not those that are easy to love. The bravest kind of love is to love the undeserving. And, God, may we be that kind of church.”

#ShareYourFaith
“Your best day in church that you will ever live in your life is not the day where you come in and it's great for you. It's the day you come in with somebody that doesn't know Jesus, and you're like, you start to watch them be like, tears coming down their face. I tell you, that will be your best day in church in your whole life. God uses you not because he had to and he had no other option. God wants to invite you into a rescue plan. It's been nothing like it on earth. So number one, how are we gonna how are we gonna be part of sharing our faith? Number one is this, spend time with people that don't know Jesus. And make it your aim to get to know people that don't know Jesus.”
34s
#MakeTheInvitation
“Make a bold invitation, and you will be more often than not surprised that God's already been moving in someone's life. So here's the question for you. Who can you invite to see what God is doing? And here's another thought. It doesn't even have to be someone who's never been to church before. Just take a moment and think of who used to sit on your row. Send them a message. How you doing? Haven't seen you in a bit. Missing you. Hope you're doing well. You should come hang out on Sunday. I'll save you a seat.”
