Worship and Meetings at
All Saints’ Church

We are an Anglican parish with a strong liturgical tradition. The teaching at All Saints’ draws on Christian tradition without being narrow or limited; liberal while remaining orthodox. We use incense and bells at High Masses, have a less formal monthly Family Service, and hold monthly gatherings for fellowship.

Our purpose is to draw near to God, to help others to come to know God, and to learn how to serve God in other people and in creation. Although we are in no way “literalists”, we have a deep faith with respect for the Bible, in which we look to find guidance and inspiration for our Christian lives. As Anglicans, our sources of authority are scripture, tradition, and reason. We pay attention to what saints, scholars and mystics, past and present, say about Scripture and the doctrines of the Church. We embody Christian values, experiencing God in our lives and connecting with the message of life and hope in a loving parish community.

Our worshippers come from all over Dunedin and we welcome you to join us on our travel through life in faith, love and hope as our Lord teaches us we live.

Weddings and Baptisms

Such important celebrations as weddings, baptism, and also funerals are celebrated regularly in All Saints’, which has a very special atmosphere for such events – a space enhanced by the magnificent stained glass windows and made rich and holy by the intentions, care and prayer of generations.

Women’s Group

The local branch of the Association of Anglican Women (AAW) meets monthly, starting with a Communion Service followed by a shared lunch. They often have guest speakers and are involved – as are other parishioners – with the social outreach to those in need in our wider community.

Baby and Toddler Group.

Every Wednesday from 9.30 am to 11 am in the All Saints’ Community Hall. All babies, toddlers and their carers are welcome to join our playgroup with God story/song time.
