All Saints’ is active in our community
Caring for the Homeless
“Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.” Romans 12:13
All Saints’ Episcopal Church is dedicated to helping those experiencing homelessness receive the necessities of life, including food, shelter, clothing and resource support. Partnering with homelessness programs on the state and local level, we are committed to sharing love and compassion to those in need.
Charitable Support through Giving
“For if the eagerness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has—not according to what one does not have.” 2 Corinthians 8:12
At All Saints’ Episcopal Church, we believe in sharing the gifts God has blessed us with to benefit the community in which we live and work. We do this through fundraisers, local events and the generosity of our congregation.

Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle
Paul, or Saul as he was known until he became a Christian, was a Roman citizen, born at Tarsus, in present-day Turkey.

Father Jim’s Reflections, December 2024
We don’t think as often as we should about the Old Testament. These ancient Hebrew Scriptures offer a striking interpretation of humanity, who we are and how we relate to the Divine.

Not all of the Psalms are locked to a particular time and place, but this one is. It’s written to honor King David after his return of the Ark of the Covenant to Israel.

Grant, O God,
that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Faith is Biblically Based, Focused on Jesus, and Leading to the Reconciliation of All Peoples.
Who are we at All Saints’ Tacoma and what do we believe? We are followers of Jesus Christ in the Episcopal tradition. It is our goal and purpose to create a beloved community of those who share our values.
We are committed to Christian Principles, focusing on the basic equality and inclusion of all peoples.
Our lives as followers of Jesus are based on the historic creeds and the two great sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Eucharist. We strive accordingly to be a place of refuge and sanctuary for all people. In our often divisive world, our congregation is based on love, compassion and hospitality. We believe the first step in making the world better is creating a church where people can be valued for who they are and who live our lives in imitation of Christ.
