Joining together each Sunday with the rest of the family of God is a top priority for us. We are resourced and equipped by celebration style worship and inspirational teaching and through our fellowship with one another. Not only do we miss out if we are absent from the ‘family gathering’ but we also deny others the encouragement of our presence.

Our Life Groups are the basic building blocks of the church’s life. These groups of 6 to 12 people meet fortnightly (some weekly) in different homes. Building close relationships with a small group of people makes it much easier to feel that we belong, not always an easy thing in a church of several hundred people. Life Groups provide the context in which we can grow in discipleship as we help one another to live faithful lives, where we can grow in confidence in using the gifts God has given us and also work together to reach our friends for Christ. Life Groups are outward-looking and always open to newcomers.

Where and how we spend our money is one of the surest guides to what really matters to us. If we are serious about following Christ then we will want to give responsibly to supporting the work of His Kingdom. Out of gratitude for God’s generosity to us we will want to give generously to Him. This will mean different things for different people, though we do encourage those who have a regular income to follow the Biblical example of giving a tithe (ten per cent) to God’s work. The more money which is given to All Saints’, the more we are able to develop ministry in the local community and beyond.

Fundamental to our identity is the commitment to see everyone involved in service of one kind or another. As soon as people have been involved in the life of the church for a reasonable ‘settling in’ period, we are keen for them to find some area of Christian service either in the church or the community. Our SHAPE course is designed to help people find an area of ministry for which they have been particularly shaped by God. In addition there are many, often very practical, jobs which simply need to be done on Sundays and midweek. These provide opportunities for us all to serve one another. Staff members are always happy to talk through with you how and where you might fit in to the many ministries currently carried out through the life of the church.
