All About Us

Who We Are

All Saints’ Episcopal Church is a part of the Diocese of North Carolina and recognizes and accedes to the authority of the Diocese and General Convention of the Episcopal Church.  All Saints’ is a loving Christian community called by God to maintain our faith in a diverse and changing world.  We are a welcoming and inclusive community. We are the sole Episcopal Church in Roanoke Rapids and the largest, most viable Episcopal Church in a forty-mile radius.  Many people at All Saints’ are professionally aligned with the local paper mill, the departments of recreation and tourism, the retail industry and the local health care facilities.  We also see the importance of adopting new families who are associated with different vocations in this rapidly growing area.  All Saints’ is a family oriented community of faith.  We strive to encourage and support all people in their individual and diverse journeys of faith.  Together we teach and learn, laugh and cry, discover our similarities and explore our differences.  We strive to offer each other our care and support in all the stages and challenges of life as we journey toward a harmony of body, mind and soul.  We are an open, progressive Christian community which welcomes all who seek to worship God and follow Christ’s Divine Commission.
 

Where We Are

In response to God's powerful and transforming presence, we strive to seek and serve Christ in all people.  All Saints’ church has refocused it vision over the past few years.  We have been through some challenging circumstances.  The community of All Saints’ embraces our past, lives fully in the present as we move forward on our faith journey into the future.  We see ourselves emerging with a renewed sense of vision that focuses on empowering the laity, continuing our sense of community, and developing our youth fellowship.
 

Together we work to understand the difficult issues and choices of life.  Whether we find answers or agree to live with the questions, we are committed to responding with the compassion of Christ.
 

What we are doing

We are doing great things within our church as well as outside of it.  We are active in missions; we held a STOP HUNGER NOW workshop that fed 10,000 people in South America.  We are also exploring a future Youth Mission trip to New Orleans and we plan to partner with other Episcopal Churches for a medical mission trip in the summer of 2009.  UTO (United Thank Offering), CPC (Church Periodical Club) are two organizations that we endorse and support.  We offer ECW (Episcopal Church Women) and Brotherhood programs every month.    We also have established a Food Bank at All Saints’ and we are active in supporting local ministries in the area.  We have dynamic ministries for all ages and we hold a mid-week Bible study from Sept. to May.

Come join us!  We will help you discover for yourself God’s love, acceptance and forgiveness.  We strive to know and love Christ and to make Christ known through prayer, liturgy, outreach and Christian community.
