Vancouver Persian Christian Church (North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
The Vancouver Persian Christian Church began in the late 1980s. The congregation became a member of the British Columbia (BC) Conference of Mennonite Brethren (MB) Churches in 1999. At that time it was reported that the church had a membership of 27 and an attendance of 45. Seervan Dowlati, a Kurd from Iran, had led the church since 1990 and became the full-time pastor in 2000. Dowlati died in May 2002 and Faheem Moini became pastor of the congregation later that year. At the BC MB Conference annual convention in April 2004 it was reported that the church had closed within the last year.
