Do you celebrate Holy Communion?

Yes, we celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday.

Who is able to receive Communion?

The Lord’s Table is open to any baptized follower of Christ. Genuine faith, reverence, confessing and forsaking our sins, and earnest efforts to be at peace with all people are the requirements Jesus makes of all his followers as he welcomes us to his table.

Why do you celebrate Holy Communion each Sunday?

First of all, this is communion, with Jesus Christ and with one another! The sacrament of communion sustains our life and faith as followers of Jesus and transforms us as we “present our bodies (all of us) as living sacrifices, our reasonable service of worship” through Christ (Romans 12:1-2).

Do you have Sunday School classes?

Yes, we do. At All Saints Church we call them Faith Formation classes. These classes are from 9:00—9:45 a.m. on Sunday mornings. To see what's going on in Faith Formation right now, click here.

What will my children do on Sunday mornings?

We have Faith Formation classes for preschoolers up through high schoolers. During the worship service, children in preschool through fifth grade are dismissed to go to Children's Church. They return in time for communion. For infants and toddlers through age three, we offer nursery care at both services.

Why do children return to the service?

It is our conviction that families should worship together. Worshipping means thinking intentionally about and focusing our affections on God. Children can learn to do this in the context of their families and the worshipping community.

Is there a youth group for my kids?

Yes! Wired is our ministry to middle schoolers. Roots is our ministry to high schoolers.

Do you have small groups?

Yes, we do. Our small groups are called 242 Groups, after the description of community in Acts 2:42. To read more or to find out where a group meets near you, click here.
