About us
ALL SAINTS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH is located near the center of town off the main thoroughfare on a residential street easily accessible to the town and surrounding community. The Gothic style church and Parish Hall are situated on approximately ¼ acre of land with street parking. The nave has a crossed beamed cathedral ceiling. The soft cream color walls and wainscoting coupled with sunlight shining through the memorial stained glass windows produces an atmosphere of warmth. The Parish Hall includes a fully equipped kitchen, restrooms, vesting room and heating and air conditioning equipment. We enjoy brunches/luncheons and suppers, parish and diocesan meetings, and good fellowship in the parish hall.
