About
We are an intergenerational congregation following Jesus together in Amesbury, Massachusetts. Our primary aim is to love God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and to receive his love for us. The Lord is with us, dwelling among his people in Amesbury, and we long to see his kingdom come in our city.
Our Church
For over 100 years, All Saints Church has existed to glorify and lift high the name of Jesus. We are a vibrant community comprised of people from all different walks of life, unified by the Holy Spirit in our love for Jesus.
We believe the Lord is building us, his church, into a spiritual house (1 Peter 2:5). This house of prayer ministers, musicians, artists, gardeners, newborns and elderly, locals and commuters, are all being built into a dwelling place for the Lord in Amesbury. We desire to lean into this good work that the Lord is doing. Our prayer is that we would be transformed by God's loving Presence in our community and that this transformation would permeate beyond the four walls of our church. We long to see the advancement of the city of God in the city of Amesbury.
Our church is one of many in the region that are after the same thing: to see the reawakening of New England. Our parish is blessed to be one of 30+ churches in the Anglican Diocese in New England.
The Anglican Communion
First and foremost, our identity is rooted in Christ. Our Anglican identity is less of an "-ism" and more of a way of worshipping God, and being in relationship with him, others, and the created world. One of the major distinctions of the Anglican Way is that we embody the three-streams of the Christian faith; we are counted among the charismatic, the sacramental, and those who hold a high view of the authority of Scripture. We are a part of a much larger, global family, with the majority of Anglicans residing in the Global South. Anglicans share a common liturgy, found in The Book of Common Prayer, as well as a common ethos. The Book of Common Prayer is simply Scripture put to prayer, and help give our worship and prayer lives structure, depth, and allowance for the freedom of authentic expressions of devotion.
