All Saints'

for all ages, for all times, for everyone. See yourself here.

All Saints’ is a growing, Christ-centred community that seeks
to share the message of God’s love and put faith into action.

Located in the downtown of Whitby and blessed with a beautiful gothic revival-style building, All Saints’ is not hard to find. In fact, we’ve been meeting, working, and worshipping in the same location since 1866. As a place of worship, we are older than Canada; as a people of faith, we strive constantly to be fresh, responsive, and forward-thinking in our relationship with God and in our care for others.

On Sunday mornings, we offer a quiet and contemplative communion service at 8:00am; a relaxed and informal service with piano, contemporary songs, and shortened, seeker-friendly liturgy at 9:30am; and a classic Anglican service with choral music, organ at 11:00am. Sunday School is offered at the 9:30am service.

Why not come by on a Sunday morning?

Music

The music of All Saints’ encompasses traditional cathedral music, choral arrangements of contemporary praise choruses, familiar Anglican and English-language hymns, as well as a number of popular new hymn texts and tunes. Typically the services include four or five songs that we sing together, some other musical offerings (acoustic guitars or soloists), or an anthem by the Chancel Choir. The high ceiling and open space of our church make for excellent acoustics for choral and congregational singing. The main instruments used in worship are a 2000-pipe organ, originally built in 1935 for a … Read More »

Children & Youth

All Saints’ strives to provide an easy and comfortable experience for children (and the adults who bring them). That may mean children working in the pew with one of our specially-made activity packs*, toddling in the aisle, or joining in our Nursery, Sunday School, or youth program. We want children to enjoy their place in the church and the place of the church in their lives. Sunday School is offered at the 9:30am service for children ages 3 and up. Just before the service starts, children are invited to meet our Sunday School teachers by the pulpit and make their way to the parish hall. … Read More »

Learning

Learning is a lifelong activity. Ongoing learning is an important element of our spiritual lives. At All Saints’ we provide spiritual growth and learning opportunities for people of all ages. Of course the mainstay of our teaching is the weekly sermons, but we also have the following:Small Study Groups: Several groups run at various times throughout the year, including a book club, movie club, weekly Bible Study, and a summer “walk & learn” group, as well as special-topic study and discussion groups that meet in people’s homes and follow a set curriculum.Seasonal Studies: During … Read More »

Community

All Saints’ is actively involved in a variety of ministries and programs in our neighbourhood, town, and region. We are mindful that many families and individuals in our area struggle every day with food insecurity, health issues, isolation or alienation, and worries over job availability or housing. We feel called by the Spirit and Christ’s example to share our time and resources with those whose day-to-day needs are as much material and physical as they are spiritual.To that end, our church operates a “Deacon’s Food Cupboard,” a small permanent food bank that helps over 180 families … Read More »

On a Sunday

Worship is central to life at All Saints’.

The vision that shapes our time together on a Sunday is simple:
we focus on God and we leave with a greater sense of hope and joy.

Our services are shaped by Anglican tradition and tailored to be relevant to your daily life and spiritual journey.

Come see where that hope and joy comes from

Take your coffee break with us

All Saints has a standing tradition of coffee and conversation on Sundays between services. Many of us come early (9:30am) for about 40 minutes of music, worship, and prayer beforehand; some stick around afterward (11:00am) for an hour or so of classic Anglican liturgy, hymns, and prayer. Everyone is encouraged to meet in the middle. Plus we have cake … on the 1st Sunday of every month.       Read more »

All Saints’ welcomes an Assistant Curate

On May 14, we welcome our new Assistant Curate, the Reverend Molly Finlay, to our ministry team! What’s a curate, you ask? And who exactly does she assist?
