“All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ Himself.” --St. Benedict
St. Benedict had a good point! The church isn't a private club for the chosen few; rather, our doors are open for everyone and to everyone. We hope to welcome each person who comes our way as we would welcome Jesus Himself, for God often comes under the appearance of a stranger.
Our faith community is an eclectic, happy mix of people with differing backgrounds and perspectives, united together in a common love of God and a love for our neighbors. Chances are, there's someone like you at All Saints'. We are single, married with kids, divorced, remarried, gay and lesbian, empty nesters, widowed, old, young, you name it. All people of all backgrounds, races, abilities, and beliefs are part of the All Saints' family.
And our radical welcome doesn't end at the door. All persons are welcome to receive the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Holy Baptism at All Saints', not just Episcopalians.
