MISSION STATEMENT
To become disciples who make disciples through Christ.
PARISH VISION
A world transformed by Jesus.
CORE VALUES
The core values of All Saints' Parish are key aspects of our life together, defining who we are.
They guide us in fulfilling our mission: "To become disciples who make disciples through
Christ." As we follow Jesus to live out this mission, we value:
Active Worship
Worship is at the core of all we do. Worship at All Saints' is sacramental, reverent, thoughtful,
ordered and participatory. Its beauty and vitality speak of God's place in our lives. Regular
worship deepens and broadens our relationship with Jesus Christ as we celebrate His life, death,
resurrection and glory.
Spiritual Formation
Transformation 'by the renewing of our minds' requires continuing commitment to spiritual
education and formation. Our discipleship deepens as we set out to learn and grow, opening
ourselves in new ways to all that it means to follow Jesus.
Building Community
We lovingly and willingly commit our time to support one another individually and in
groups. We meet to worship, study, talk, pray, work, share our lives and grow in community.
Our participation contributes to the life of the parish, and together we build up the Body of
Christ.
Open Fellowship
All Saints' is a community committed to diverse and inclusive fellowship. Everyone is welcomed
and cherished as an individual. From this place of safety and acceptance, it is our responsibility
to reach out to others.
Cultural Attentiveness
Through music, words, and other artistry, we rejoice in and nurture gifts of expression and
creativity. Discernment, talent and intellect are brought to bear upon all facets of life at All
Saints'. We honor the richness of our urban environment and are attentive to its unique
challenges.
Reaching Out
We are called to follow Jesus in uncompromising care and compassion for those in need. We
give of our time and treasure to God’s work, both in this community and worldwide. Through
consistent prayer and compassionate action we become instruments of God's healing power
and reconciliation.
Inviting In
Sharing what we have found together is a natural response to life in Jesus: "Come and see!" We
recognize that others experience God's acceptance and love through us. Our welcome seeks to
put everyone else at ease, offering hospitality that is respectful, sensitive and engaging.
