Welcome
Christ Church Kelowna is a small Anglican mission in the Anglican Diocese of Canada (within the Province of the ACNA) that desires to be a faithful, Gospel-treasuring, Christ-exalting Church in Kelowna that is anchored in and shaped by the rich, lively tradition of the Protestant Reformation which we have received in the Book of Common Prayer.
Our next service of Holy Communion will be held at 7pm on Sunday, Jan 05, at Valley Road Church, 228 Valley Road. Please join us.

Reflections for Modern-Day Pilgrims
Vigorous Leisure
One of my favourite Anglican thinkers is C.S. Lewis. His was a mind taken up with great things (and by all accounts frequently detached from less important things: for all his profound devotion to the gift of friendship and his manifest love for his close companion and colleague, J.R.R.

And of these two words, Catholic, as the Reformation scholar Gordon Rupp once said, is the “more enduring term.” Every week as we meet to worship … Read more
Endless Hallelujahs
In the 42nd Psalm, David, the sweet singer of Israel, pens a song of lament. As he writes the Psalm, he is a hunted man, cut off from God’s house, from the ark, and from all the ordinances of God.
