About this service
St. Andrew's, the Mother Church of the Comox Valley, began in 1863 as an Indian Mission Chapel. Rev. Jules Xavier Willemar and his Anglican congregation decided that the log cabin church they shared with the Presbyterians was too small to accommodate the growing settlement. A new Anglican church, named St. Andrew's, was built in 1873 at the bottom of Mission Hill, while the Presbyterians built their church, also named St. Andrew's, at the top of the hill. Both churches can still be found on their original site, although St. Andrew's Anglican has been moved back twice to accommodate the expansion of the North Island Hwy. St. Andrew's Presbyterian is now Living Word Reformed Episcopal Church and is located in front of the Civic Cemetery.
When is it open?
