CORE Worship
Our gatherings are centered on worship in the Episcopal Church. Our worship is Catholic, Orthodox, Reformed, and Evangelistic - CORE worship! We are Catholic which means "universal" or "whole" and our worship preaches and teaches the whole of the Christian faith as handed down from apostolic times.
We are Orthodox in our practices - giving right glory to the Triune God through the liturgical forms of worship and praise in the Book of Common Prayer.
We are Reformed as members of the Anglican Communion we share the heritage of the centrality of Scripture along with Tradition and Reason as a grounding for our faith.
We are Evangelistic in the original Greek sense of this word: bearers of good news. We believe the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ carries transforming power for our lives. This is good news!

What about kids?
We know it's not always easy to bring kids to church so we try to make things as comfortable and welcoming for both children and parents. On first, third, and fifth Sundays during the school year, we offer Godly Play on Sundays at 10 am for our younger children ages 3-7 in the Godly Play room just outside the worship space. On other Sundays, we have children's bulletins & crayons at the ushers station for our younger friends. Jesus welcomed children and we take our cues from him.
I'm LGBTQ+ - am I welcome?
All Saints is an affirming parish in the Episcopal Church. We are affiliated with gaychurch.org and welcome the LGBTQ+ community as part of Christ's beloved community. We believe all the sacraments are for all who are baptized into Christ!
All Saints has a gender neutral, fully accessible restroom on the main floor of the building to the right of the main entrance.
Is the building accessible?
Our worship space and Parish Hall are fully wheelchair accessible thanks to the vision and generosity of our members who donated to our Accessible To All 1 & 2 capital campaigns. We have automated doors, an elevator, and accessible restrooms.
All Saints has two wheelchairs available on site for use.
No matter who you are, where you come from, who you love, or how you express yourself - there
is a place for you at All Saints, Hershey!
