We are a member of the Inclusive Church network so we celebrate and affirm every person and do not discriminate.
Welcome!
At All Saints we aim to be a welcoming and inclusive church community. We want to provide a safe space for people who have been excluded by churches in the past. This includes people of all ages, black people and ethnic minority backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ people and disabled people, including those who are physically impaired or neurodivergent and people with learning disabilities.
We believe the good news of Jesus is about being welcomed for who you are – a radical invitation to share in God’s love, generousity and compassion, regardless of background, colour, sexual orientation or ability. We are a member of Inclusive Church – a church which celebrates and affirms every person and does not discriminate. We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.
