Welcome to All Saints Church Holbeach

We welcome you, whatever our differences. We welcome those who have been hurt in the past or who feel that church is not for them. We won't always get it right, but we will always learn together.

We welcome regular attenders, those who come once in a while and those who've never been before.

We welcome you from newborn until after you have received your telegram from the Queen and beyond. 

We welcome questioners and thinkers, creatives and scientists. If your faith is certain or you don't think it's for you. You are welcome; we are all on a journey together.

If you've come in to get out of the cold, find quiet or prayer, seek God, or have a warm drink and a chat. You are welcome.

We gather to support each other in difficult times, to rejoice in good times and to be there for one another as we journey together with God.

We hope and pray that you will find this place a blessing to you, a place of worship, a place to encounter God, a place of community and above all, a place of welcome.

Revd Sherine Angus
Priest in Charge of the Parish of Holbeach

We are an Inclusive Church

At All Saints, we celebrate and affirm every person and do not discriminate.

We will continue to challenge the church where it continues to discriminate against people on grounds of disability, economic power, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, learning disability, mental health, neurodiversity, or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.

"We are a busy church; centred on the Eucharist with a strong musical tradition. Our worship is led with dignity and yet a light touch and includes a monthly Book of Common Prayer said Eucharist, a weekly Sung Eucharist using the rich variety of seasonal liturgies provided by Common Worship, a weekly Book of Common Prayer Choral Evensong with an anthem, a more informal monthly service of All-Age Worship with music led by our band and a keyboard, which is often attended by one of the uniformed organisations, and an occasional Celtic style evening service we call 'Be Still'.

We have a comprehensive Website full of information and details of all Services & Events at All Saints Holbeach.
