Anglican

Our Anglican Identity
We are committed to following Jesus Christ through the demonstration and proclamation of the Good News of the Gospel to the whole creation. Our way of life is founded on Holy Scripture and the pattern of the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic church”. The Scripture is “God’s Word written”, affirmed in the creeds of the historic church, and are interpreted in light of Christian tradition. To be an Anglican, then, is not to embrace a unique version of Christianity, but a distinct way of being a “Mere Christian,” at the same time evangelical, apostolic, catholic, reformed, and Spirit-filled.
Our Anglican Practice
We are a liturgical people, responding to God and to one another. We live and worship in the ebb and flow of the historical Church calendar. Our pattern of daily prayer and sacramental worship incorporates everyone as participants, actively engaging the best of the ancient Christian faith. We find great strength and comfort praying and worshipping in congruence with millions of other Christians, both globally and historically

Our Story

All Saints Holland emerged in the winter of 2012 as a small group of families and a deacon gathering in an upper room chapel in a converted garage for simple Sunday worship informed by the liturgy in The Book of Common Prayer. In 2013, with our newly ordained priest and a few more families, our gatherings became a weekly Eucharist, daily morning prayers, and daily evening vespers. More families joined us; also college students, young singles, empty-nesters, and retirees. Our few families had become many and so we began to form purposeful fellowships to care for one another.
In 2018, it was clear we needed more space for weekly worship, so we moved our Sunday Eucharist down the street to a 100-year old sanctuary; some of our gatherings and meetings, our offices, and daily prayers remained in the garage-chapel. The heart of our life together was still centered in living rooms, lingering in parks or driveways, and over cups of coffee and dinner tables.
In 2020, to accommodate a growing staff and to refocus the chapel building as a place of prayer and spiritual formation, the church
office moved to share a renovated office above a great pizza joint.
