The Vancouver Gospel Tent is made possible by dedicated volunteers from churches throughout the Lower Mainland.
From students to retirees, people from many backgrounds come together with one shared purpose:
To share the love of Christ with our community.
Whether answering questions, guiding visitors through the exhibits, or simply enjoying conversation, every volunteer seeks to make each guest feel welcome.
Explore creative displays that bring Bible stories to life.
Ask questions about faith in a welcoming environment.
Take home Bibles, booklets, bookmarks, and other literature—free of charge.
Individuals, families, children, and visitors of every background are warmly welcomed.
The Vancouver Gospel Tent began in 1972, when a small group of Christians in the Vancouver area envisioned and set up a Christian exhibit at the annual Pacific National Exhibition.
Their goal was simple—to share the message of the Bible and the love, mercy, and forgiveness that God offers through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Visitors were invited to explore the exhibit, ask questions, and receive a variety of free Christian resources, including:
✓ Booklets & Bookmarks
✓ Colouring books
✓ Magazines & Posters
✓ Fridge magnets
✓ Bible literature
What started as a modest outreach has since become a cherished tradition at the PNE.
For more than five decades, the Vancouver Gospel Tent has created interactive exhibits designed to spark curiosity and meaningful conversations about the Bible.
These exhibits have welcomed thousands of visitors and have provided opportunities to discuss faith, hope, and the message of the Gospel.
Today, many believers can trace their first encounter with the Gospel back to a visit to the Vancouver Gospel Tent.
Throughout the years, visitors have enjoyed exhibits including:
Ark Model: A large-scale model illustrating Noah's Ark.
Bible Timeline: A 40-foot journey through biblical history.
Gutenberg Printing Press: A working replica demonstrating how the Bible was first mass-produced.
Solar System Orrery: A moving model showcasing God's incredible creation.
Noah's Ark Wave Pool: A hands-on display comparing the buoyancy of Noah's Ark with other ships.
3D Holy Land Map: An interactive look at biblical geography.
The Red Sea Aquarium: A creative display illustrating the parting of the Red Sea.
Historic Bibles: A fascinating collection of antique and historical Bibles.
Today, the Vancouver Gospel Tent continues its mission of sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with every visitor who walks through its doors.
This year's feature exhibit is an immersive walk-through presentation of Jonah and the Great Fish.
Visitors can experience the biblical account of Jonah's journey, his repentance, and God's remarkable mercy in an engaging and memorable way.
More than a historical display, the exhibit points to God's invitation for every person to receive His grace, forgiveness, and salvation through Jesus Christ.
Whether you're curious about the Bible, searching for answers, or simply exploring the PNE, we invite you to stop by and experience the Vancouver Gospel Tent.
Our volunteers would be delighted to welcome you, answer your questions, and share the hope found in Jesus Christ.
Admission is free. Everyone is welcome.
