Why

Sunday morning gatherings for worship is what we lead with, but the Christian walk can’t stop there. God designed us all to be connected with one another. Pastorates provide the space to walk the Christian life together, to know others and be known.

What

Pastorates are All Saints’ community groups, made of 10-20 people gathering in homes. In a pastorate, you’ll get to connect with God and one another and grow spiritually through fellowship, discussion, and prayer. Pastorates are co-ed and intergenerational.

When

Pastorates begin in September and meet biweekly throughout the year. Registration is first-come, first-serve, even if you’ve participated in a pastorate before.

If you are new to our church, know that you can join a pastorate at any time of year, though most people join in September, when we invite folks to register (or re-register) for their pastorates, or January, when there’s another wave of registration.

Where

Pastorates meet in different locations within the city. Currently open pastorates are listed on the sign up form, though you’re welcome to choose a pastorate in a different part of the city than where you live.

Values

• A little slice of the church: we seek to maintain the same diversity you see on Sunday mornings - single and married, young and old, men and women - in our pastorate gatherings (this may feel different from some who’ve come from churches where group life is based on gender or stage of life).

• Neighborhood-based: most folks choose a pastorate that meets in their part of town, which enables you to build relationships in your neighborhood, with people you might run into at the grocery store or a local coffee shop.
