A map to the many lifelong faith journeys at All Saints Parish

Guided by our baptismal covenant we aim to accompany people at all stages of life as they experience the love of God individually and in community and to support them in building a spiritual foundation to draw on as they seek lives of meaning and purpose. We do this by providing times and places where people can explore, develop, and strengthen a relationship with God, the Creator of all life, both individually and in community.

Everyone’s journey of faith is unique, and everyone learns in a variety of ways and from a variety of sources. Some are spiritually sustained by reading books and discussing them in groups…for others working in the garden is more spiritually rewarding. For some, prayer is primarily being in silence; for others, singing is a form of prayer…for still others, feeding people or advocating for causes is the way they pray. We also find comfort and challenge in different spiritual modes at different times in our lives.

We each have a natural inclination toward a preferred mode of spiritual learning and expression. As we grow we learn balance by weaving components of all modes together. Learn more about spiritual modalities here. Click on the icons above to explore activities at All Saints which emphasize one or more of these spiritual modalities.

Spiritual growth in the Episcopal Church is grounded in Holy Scripture, the living traditions of the Church and our own God-given reason. Sunday worship is the gravitational core of our communal journey with God, but every group and activity at All Saints has some spiritual modality woven into it. Everyone is encouraged to choose their own path. Start with activities that emphasize spiritual modes that feel comfortable to you, and then add in others that cause you to stretch; focus on one at a time, or combine them in ways that feel nourishing to your soul.
