  • VCEFC In-person Worship Restart Survey. As British Columbia is currently in phase 3 of our province’s restart plan, the leadership of our church is currently working on a safe and responsible way to return some in-person ministries to the church, including Sunday worship for our three congregations. We ask for your patience and prayers for wisdom as we address the many logistic and safety elements that need to be in place before our return. Please assist our planning process by filling out a short survey regarding your comfort level and worship schedule preferences for returning to in-person worship at church here. Your feedback is valuable as we plan for the safe return of small church gatherings and other church programs.
