Towards the end of 2019, just over one year after planting Avant Life Church’s first campus in North Vancouver, Pastors Ben and Emma announced the clear call from God to expand Avant Life Church, by planting a second campus in the community of Squamish, B.C. Squamish has a quickly growing population of ~20,000 people, is nestled between Vancouver and Whistler Mountain Ski Resort, and is famous for being home to the Squamish First Nation (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and popular tourist destinations like the Sea-to-Sky Gondola and other outdoor adventures. Since the faith-filled announcement of starting a new Avant Life Church Campus in Squamish, we have seen God be faithful again and again, with miracles like the creation of amazing connections with the Squamish community and Indigenous leaders, the provision of a church building which we will be renovating in the coming months, and the adoption of the Squamish Community Church community into the Avant Life Church family.
