Ten Reasons Why All Saints' 

is a Great Place to Serve


  1.  It’s gratifying to serve with energetic, supportive, fun colleagues. Our staff works collaboratively towards our common mission. God is doing great things at and through All Saints’, and it is fulfilling to be part of something meaningful.
  2. Between our church and day school, there is never a dull moment at All Saints’, with lots of activity during the school and program year on our campus and in the community.
  3. We have some of the best liturgy and music in The Episcopal Church. We worship from the Book of Common Prayer an average of 8 times per week, including day school chapels, monthly choral Evensong, weddings and funerals.
  4. All Saints’ is a diverse congregation: Republicans and Democrats, young families and seniors, gays and lesbians, singles, wealthy and poor, from different backgrounds. We are united in a centrist, non partisan, healthy community of respect that follows Jesus Christ in the Episcopal tradition as we pray, learn, serve and connect with God and each other.
  5. We take our spiritual formation seriously. Our members of all ages appreciate learning about the faith. We have a solid foundation, but seek to grow in numbers and discipleship.
  6. We are committed to serving those in need in our city and beyond. We have active partnerships with many local agencies, including NourishPHX, Feed My Starving Children, André House, and Saint Mary's Food Bank, and internationally with Saint Paul’s Church and School in Haiti.
  7. The weather. Phoenix has more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Sure, the summer is hot, but the late fall, winter, and spring are amazing.
  8. Phoenix has all the amenities of a big city: music and the arts, sports teams, outdoor activities, and great cuisine. The Southwest is a rich and unique landscape and culture.
  9. Phoenix is still relatively affordable for a major city.
