The Ministry of Outreach:
Love in Action

With whom are we being called into a deeper relationship? Who are our brothers and sisters? What gifts might we share with one another? How might we learn from each other? How is it that outreach transforms us, as individuals, as a church, and as a local and global community? These are some of the questions that guide and inform us in the ministry of outreach.

Community Outreach Drives

Over the past year All Saints has supported Centro Hispano, Frederick County Senior Services, The Frederick Community Action Agency, Gale Recovery House, Heartly House, The Religious Coalition, SHIP, and Advocates for the Homeless. How are you called to participate?
