Resources

We believe that true and healthy formation happens in and through Christian community balanced with our own life of devotion and intimacy with God.  Our shared prayer, common life, and sacramental worship are the primary resources we have for growth and grace.  As Anglicans, the Bible and the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) are the foundations of our prayer and worship, providing daily, weekly, and seasonal structure and orientation for our relationship with God and our life together as His Church.

That said, below you will find a small sampling of the wealth of orienting and equipping resources that we think are helpful as we journey together in the Way of Christ.

curacy

All Saints Holland is committed to shaping leaders for healthy, lifelong ministry. In addition to formal education, we believe disciples are made through the daily work of the Church. 

The All Saints Curacy is a residential program (typically a year-long) for individuals who have discerned a call to Holy Orders in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA). Housing is provided within our core neighborhood. Over the course of the year, the curate works closely with the rector as well as a program supervisor. The rector is responsible for personal spiritual formation, while the program supervisor supports the curate in identifying and accomplishing vocational goals. The curate will join All Saints Holland in different aspects of parish ministry, as well as serving our neighborhood.
