About St. David's

St. David's is a community committed to grow in faith and understanding of God's Will and to serve as a channel for love in God's world

The parish originated in 1912 as a Mission of St. Luke's. Services were held in the area of 81st Street and 76th Avenue until 1928. In 1951 St. David's was re-established under Bishop Barfoot and the boundaries established. Services were held in the King Edward Park Community Hall, then at the corner of 80th Avenue and 81st Street. The basement of the present church was completed in 1953 and services were held there until the main building was finished in 1955. The church was dedicated on November 1, 1955, All Saint's Day, and consecrated on December 8, 1963.

Since 1952, St. David’s has had seven rectors.  It was served by the Reverend R. N. Alcock from 1952 to 1953; the Reverend H. G. MacDonald from 1953 to 1957 and by the Reverend D. E. Jones from 1957 to 1961.  Archdeacon R. A. Sayer served the parish for 24 years prior to his retirement on April 7, 1985.  The Reverend B. G. Randall became our fifth rector from September 1985 to August 1996, and the Reverend M. J. Wimmer was our sixth rector from September 1997 to October 2005. Currently our rector is the Reverend Cameron Burns.
