Welcome to the Family of All Saints Ecclesall

We’re a welcoming Anglican Church that loves making connections to life in today’s world and creating space for everyone who wants to explore what it means to follow Jesus. We enjoy engaging deeply with the Bible and try to stay open, adventurous and humble as we listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Our hope is to grow a community of trust and friendship - one where long-standing members and those who are new to the area, or simply curious about faith, all feel at home. We put a lot of care into offering activities for children and young people, and we aim to be a safe and inclusive place for people who appreciate a variety of worship styles.

We hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you—and we’re just as excited for the ways your own experiences and gifts will enrich our life together. My staff team, along with our PCC and lay leaders, are here to support you, help you settle in, and make you feel part of the family.
