All Saints' – for all ages, for all times, for everyone. See yourself here.

About us

All Saints’ is a 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 8:00 am and a classic Anglican service with music and Sunday School at 10:00 am.

Why not come by on a Sunday morning?
We are not hard to find, and once you’ve visited for a while,
you’ll discover we’re hard to miss.

All Saints” is an LGBT + friendly parish

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 a service includes four or five songs that we sing together, some other musical offerings, and 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 Roman Catholic parish in Quebec, … Read More »

Children & Youth

All Saints’ strives to provide an easy and comfortable experience for children (and the adults that 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. Our Sunday School offers an engaging learning experience for children ages 3 through 10. Children attend the initial part of the Sunday service with their parents or guardians and then, following a short children’s … 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 »

2018 All Saints Anglican Church Bursary

March 21, 2018

In November 2010, All Saints church members started collecting soon-to-be-defunct pennies, and in the spring of 2012 donations were enough to offer a $1000 bursary to an eligible graduating student from a Whitby-Ajax high school.
