Introduction

The land for two churches on Newton Hall was donated by Wm Leech when building the Newton Hall Estate. A Methodist Church was built in 1967. After worshipping in Blue Coat School for some time it was agreed that both denominations would worship in the same church and in 1970 a Local Ecumenical Project was set up at All Saints. This is now a Local Ecumenical Partnership.

All Saints has around 140 Members ranging from the very young to the - not so young! There is an average weekly congregation of about 60 members.

We offer an inter-denominational, friendly, family environment for all age worship. Our Vision Statement reads:
"All Saints seeks to be a tolerant, vibrant worshipping church, enthusiastically working through practical and spiritual action to share Christ's love with all."
