We come as we are, young and old, dressed as we like, some cradle Episcopalians, others newcomers, some from different traditions or no tradition, as families, as partnered, as individuals, believers, searchers, and skeptics alike. All are welcome.
We rejoice in the beauty of creation, in the mystery of faith, and in the hope of everlasting life. Our call to faith is linked intimately to Christ’s love, and we believe that through worship, prayer, study, service, and work, we become instruments of the Church’s mission “to restore all people to unity with God and each other.”
We are comprehensive in our thinking because we believe that truth can be found in tension, as we affirm the sacred and the secular, the complexity of our minds and the power of our hearts, and the transcendence yet immanence of God. We value ambiguity, paradoxical thinking, nuances, doubts and questions. We assume that what may appear at first as irreconcilable differences may hold and contain balanced truths. Therefore, we listen to each other, deeply and respectfully, and we encourage each other to express one’s own understanding of God. We are patient; silence is honored; grace is real. Our unity is not the unity of sameness of thought but a unity of trust in God and God's wisdom. It's the unity of our shared life in Christ.
We see the world as sacramental- capable of mediating the grace of God, always. We emphasize the two primary sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist as ways to celebrate the incarnation, God’s entry into human life and history through Jesus. In Christ, the extraordinary can be found in the ordinary.
We lift up the Eucharist as the principal act of worship because bread and wine, consecrated, embody the central truth of our faith.
God is madly in love with us; we have been given the blessed assurance that there is a splendor burning in the heart of all things.

Caring for One Another
We are a community who cares for one another and we believe through any act of caring, great or small, we bear Christ's love for the world. We pray for each other, we help provide meals, rides, clothing and more when a parishioner is in need. We offer Healing Prayer for times of distress or heartache. We believe in being present to each other's suffering and celebrating in each other's joys. If you require assistance of any kind, please call our office at 603-924-3202.
Serving the Community
Service to each other and the wider community is at the very heart of who we are at All Saints' Church.
We offer:
- a weekly Community Supper from September through July. This free meal is available on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 and features two homemade soups (one is always vegetarian), freshly baked breads and desserts, salad, cheese and fruit.
- we support the Peterborough Food Pantry and connect people in need with food. Food donations are always accepted to support this valuable ministry.

Centro Victoria
Centro Victoria, an international ministry of All Saints’, is a home for abandoned children in Juarez, Mexico. It is run by Pastor Joel Ramirez and his wife, Carmen. They currently shelter 90 children of all ages. Pastor Joel has visited All Saints’ a few times to share with us his own journey, the progress of his ministry, and stories of triumph against overwhelming odds as more and more children are able to escape a life of poverty and drug addiction thanks to his help and that of his family.
