POINT GREY INTER-MENNONITE FELLOWSHIP

Follow Message Edit

**Point Grey Inter-Mennonite Fellowship** (PGIMF) is a Canadian nonprofit organization and inter-Mennonite congregation based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Registered as a charity (Business No. 869149526RR0001), it operates as a lay-led church associated with both the Mennonite Church British Columbia and the British Columbia Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, historically maintaining dual affiliation until adjustments in its conference membership status.

### History  
Founded in September 1986 as **Point Grey Fellowship** (PGF), the congregation initially gathered in the chapel of the Menno Simons Centre, a former convent repurposed as a student residence by the Pacific Centre for Discipleship[^1^][^4^]. Its founders sought to establish an inter-Mennonite community west of Vancouver's Main Street, particularly engaging university students and residents from diverse Mennonite traditions, including Mennonite Brethren, General Conference Mennonites, and the Mennonite Church (Old Mennonite)[^3^][^4^].  

PGIMF transitioned to a dual-conference affiliation by 1993, becoming one of few North American congregations formally linked to both Mennonite Brethren (MB) and Mennonite Church (MC) conferences[^3^][^4^]. In February 2022, PGIMF initiated voluntary withdrawal from the BC Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, completing this process by August 2022[^3^][^4^].  

### Structure and Practices  
The fellowship emphasizes consensus-based governance and lay leadership, with no ordained clergy since 1991[^3^][^4^]. Worship services incorporate hymn singing, participatory discussions, and shared reflections on teachings, maintaining a tradition of open dialogue during responses to sermons[^2^][^5^]. Ministries focus on community outreach, student engagement, and fostering inclusive participation[^5^].  

### Affiliations and Mission  
PGIMF describes its mission as ministering to Vancouver’s Point Grey community, educational institutions, and individuals seeking an "open, inquiring, participative faith community" through an evangelical-Anabaptist lens[^5^]. Historically inter-Mennonite, it continues to welcome attendees from varied backgrounds under the Mennonite Church British Columbia umbrella[^2^][^3^].
