Welcome from Our Rector, David Rucker


Thank you for taking the time to visit our website – please come visit us and experience our full range of programs for children and adults.

God’s blessings to you. 		Welcome to the web pages for All Saints Episcopal Church.

Our primary hope for this website is to give a glimpse of who we are, if you are searching for a church. But we also intend to create an easy means of communication. Whether you are someone who is seeking answers about God or the Christian faith, about the Episcopal Church or All Saints parish; whether you are in need of prayer or just need to talk; please feel free to drop me an e-mail through the links found on this site.

We are a small but growing parish (averaging 60-70 people on a typical Sunday). All Saints has very much a family feel and we rejoice with each new addition to our “family.” I am confident that you will find us to be a welcoming and friendly church and that you will feel that you “belong” very quickly.

We are blessed to have a very broad cross section of people from the communities we serve. People of all ages and backgrounds are included in our parish, and each is infinitely valuable. We are especially thankful for the many children of all ages that belong to All Saints. We feel a great responsibility to provide appropriate care, teaching and FUN to all of our kids.

We are actively developing plans that will minister to all of our members and to the community at large. This is demonstrated by the recent renovation of our building. We have a new great room, Boyd Hall, for adult ministry and lower floor for youth and children’s ministry.

In this space we have everything from Bible studies to multi-
media events (such as movie nights) for adults and focused youth ministries and events for our young people. Making this room all the more special was that WE are did the construction, allowing us develop this space for a very small fraction of what it would otherwise have cost

We are a parish that knows how to have fun. Whether it be our World Famous (well, almost) Fish Fry’s during Lent, our monthly visits to area restaurants, annual cookout at Idlewylde, our coffee “hour”, our Bible study groups, or any of a host of other events; we celebrate our relationship to each other and to God. And our relationship to God is the center of our purpose.

I can assure you that we are a Bible believing parish that stands on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is my most important task to preach and teach the whole message of the Bible; to share the life-changing and life-giving work and promises of God. We celebrate the truth of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and what that truth means to us today and for eternity. We believe deeply: the Gospel of Jesus Christ is very Good News indeed!

Finally, let me assure you that all people are welcome at All Saints, because God seeks ALL people.

If you have any questions or if I can be of service to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me, by phone (412-251-8474) or e-mail on the link below or at "rucker59@yahoo.com".
