Rite of Passage Services

Beacon is pleased to have both a minister and lay chaplains who can perform rites of passage—weddings, memorial services or funerals, and child dedications or blessings—for both members and the general public. Lay chaplains are licensed by the Province of British Columbia.

Our services are what some would call spiritual but not religious. They are indeed religious in the very broad sense of the word, but not necessarily of a particular religious stripe. Our rituals are always tailored to the needs of the participants. Of course, you will want to personalize your special day.

We encourage you to visit a Sunday service to get to know us: 10:00 am at Port Coquitlam's Gathering Place, 2253 Leigh Square.

Beacon has welcomed the l/b/g/t community for years, and is delighted to perform legal weddings for same sex couples.

We are pleased to travel, within reason, to your chosen site for your service. Do contact the minister, Rev. Katie, to discuss your service, or call our office at 604-939-2213.
