Welcome
Imago Dei is a network of Christian faith communities based in Vancouver, British Columbia, with sister groups in other locations around B.C., as well as adherents in other countries. It is a ministry that has formed around principles of spiritual direction for the encouragement of a genuine experience of growth in the Christian spiritual life.
Imago Dei provides resources for the cultivation of the practice of prayer and the life of faith. It also models and encourages small fellowship groups for those who wish to pursue, in community with others, a growing communion with God in their lives.
Our ministry is
- to encourage a deeper spirituality in the lives of Christians
- to help recognize and welcome God’s transforming work in life
- to encourage a growing faith towards the life God is calling us to live in this world.
We offer spiritual direction and various resources for individual spiritual growth to all who desire encouragement. We also represent a community of faith that meets regularly for fellowship and support.
We refer to Imago Dei as “a community drawn to Christ” and the uncompleted pen drawing by Rembrandt that we use for our logo represents the ongoing question that inspires us in all we do: “Who are we becoming in Christ?”
Rob Des Cotes, who directs Imago Dei, is a graduate of Regent College and is also pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Vancouver, B.C. He teaches Contemplative Traditions at Trinity Western University, as well as courses on spirituality and the arts at Carey Theological College and Columbia Bible College.
Imago Dei is affiliated with the MB denomination of BC.
