ALL SAINTS UNITED CHURCH
Churches in Pietermaritzburg

The original church was extended a few times over the following years to accommodate the growing congregation. We believe the best way to transform the world is by following the example of Jesus, doing what God has called the church to do. We trust the Holy Spirit to guide us, and we use our diverse God-given abilities to serve. We believe God redeems the world through Jesus Christ and that God calls the Church to share in this mission. We believe that it is Gods’ will that the Church should be visibly one, and that the Holy Spirit continually moves us to seek this unity. For this reason, we are a covenant community committed to seeking together this visible unity, and to this end we are affiliated to the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa and the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa. We recognise Scripture to be God-breathed and God-inspired; we hold true to the Apostles Creed and we practise Baptism and Holy Communion as Sacraments of God’s love in Jesus Christ. At All Saints, we believe in having a church family rather than a church service. We encourage everyone to be part of a home group, offer many different courses and strive to have many regular social events. We believe this is when true ministry occurs, with our family learning together, praying together, playing together and more importantly serving together. We offer three diverse services every Sunday as we attempt to include everyone in the life of our church. Our 07:30 service is a traditional service with Communion offered every week. Our thriving All Saints Kid’s programme runs at our 09:00 service, with our kids joining us in the church for a short message and allowing them to worship with their families before they head out to their classrooms. This service blends the new and the old with a more contemporary feel! All Saints is financially dependent on the generosity of our congregation. We can only do the work we do through the gifts and tithes that we receive on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis. Every year we offer a variety of courses and teachings to spiritually grow and equip you to deepen your relationship with Jesus. We place a big emphasis on Connect Groups in our church, as we believe this is where you connect with like-minded people and delve deeper into the Word of God. At All Saints, we are all embracing and so we offer a range of worship styles that allow everyone to feel comfortable in our services.
