A Century of Faithful Witness

For more than one hundred years, God has faithfully sustained our congregation in Long Beach committed to worshiping Jesus Christ, proclaiming the Gospel, making disciples, and serving, sharing, and embodying the gospel to our neighbors and beyond. We are grateful for those who have gone before us and seek to continue that faithful witness for generations to come. Rooted in Holy Scripture, nourished by Word and Sacrament, guided by the historic Christian faith, and empowered by the Holy Spirit for faithful worship, lifelong discipleship, embodied community, and gospel-shaped mission.

Welcome

Welcome to All Saints Anglican Cathedral. Whether you have been attending for a few weeks, have followed Jesus for many years, or are still exploring what you believe, you are welcome here. We hope you will discover a church family where you are welcomed, challenged, nourished, and sent.

Our primary identity is that of followers of Jesus Christ. We are not Anglicans who happen to follow Jesus; we are followers of Jesus who follow him within the Anglican way, rooted in Holy Scripture, the Great Tradition of the Church, and the historic faith once delivered to the saints.

Our mission is to build a church community that glorifies God, follows Jesus, and is empowered by the Holy Spirit for mission to reconcile a broken world to God. We drink deeply from one river with three streams: Scripture, our authoritative guide in faith and life; Sacraments, God’s ordinary means of grace that nourish and strengthen us; and Spirit, the presence and power of God enabling holy living and faithful mission.

It would be a privilege to worship with you and meet you.

May you experience God’s “Never Stopping, Never Giving up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love.”

Fr. Scott

Who Are We

At All Saints Anglican Cathedral, our primary identity is not found in a denomination, a style of worship, or a tradition. Our primary identity is that we are followers of Jesus Christ. We are Anglicans because we believe the Anglican way is a faithful, biblical, and historic way of following Him.

Everything we do begins with Jesus Christ—His life, death, resurrection, ascension, reign as King, and promise to come again to make all things new. We exist to glorify God by helping people know Christ, grow in Christ, and faithfully join His mission of reconciling a broken world to God. We are rooted in Holy Scripture as God's authoritative Word, nourished by Word and Sacrament as God's ordinary means of grace, guided by the historic Christian faith received through the Church, and empowered by the Holy Spirit for lives of holiness, love, and faithful witness. We believe following Jesus is more than attending church. It is a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him together. Through worship, prayer, the study of Scripture, the Sacraments, authentic community, and lives of service, Christ forms us into His disciples and sends us into the world as His ambassadors. We seek to hold together what is too often divided: Gospel clarity and Gospel charity. We proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ with conviction while seeking to embody His humility, compassion, grace, and love. Truth without love wounds. Love without truth misleads. We believe the Gospel calls us to both. Whether you have followed Jesus for decades, are taking your first steps of faith, or are simply asking honest questions, we invite you to walk with us as we follow Christ together.

What is the Gospel?

The gospel is the royal announcement that the crucified and risen Jesus, who died for our sins and rose again according to the Holy Scriptures, has been enthroned as the true Lord of the world. When this gospel is preached, God calls people to salvation, out of sheer grace, leading them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as the risen Lord.

What Is A Disciple?

A disciple lives and loves like Jesus Christ in every sphere of life. Disciples intentionally practice spiritual disciplines, both individually and together with the Church, to deepen their communion with God through Jesus Christ. By the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, they are continually transformed into the likeness of Christ for the sake of God’s mission in the world. Practicing the Way of Jesus means apprenticing ourselves to him—to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did, as he continues his work through us by the Holy Spirit.

Why Do We Worship the Way We Do?

At All Saints, we believe worship is first and foremost about God, not us. Each Sunday we gather to glorify the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. In worship we hear God’s Word, confess our sins, proclaim the historic faith, pray together, receive Holy Communion, and are sent into the world to love and serve Christ. Week by week, these ancient rhythms become God’s ordinary means of grace, shaping us into the likeness of Jesus Christ.

Our worship is intentionally biblical, sacramental, historic, and participatory. Every prayer, Scripture reading, hymn, creed, and sacramental act tells the story of God’s saving work in Jesus Christ, so that week by week the Gospel is not only proclaimed but also prayed, sung, confessed, received, and lived. Rather than being spectators, we are invited to actively participate in worship as the people of God, joining our voices with Christians throughout the world and across the centuries.

We often describe our worship as one river with three streams: Scripture, Sacrament, and Spirit. Through Holy Scripture, God speaks to his people. Through the Sacraments, he nourishes us with his grace. Through the Holy Spirit, he unites us to Christ and empowers us for holy living and faithful mission. These are God’s ordinary means of grace by which he forms us into the likeness of his Son.

At the Holy Eucharist especially, we are reminded that Christian worship is more than a human gathering. Through Jesus Christ, heaven and earth meet in a profound and mysterious way. As we gather around the Lord’s Table, we join “with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven” in the everlasting worship of God. Each celebration of the Holy Eucharist becomes a foretaste of the heavenly banquet and the new creation, when Christ will make all things new.

How Do We Make Disciples?

Jesus’ final command was not simply to make converts, but to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). A disciple is one who increasingly submits every area of life to the loving lordship of Jesus Christ. Disciple-making, therefore, is not merely a program or curriculum, but a lifelong journey of grace in which the Holy Spirit forms us into the likeness of Christ for the glory of God and the sake of his Kingdom.

At All Saints, we make disciples by proclaiming the gospel, welcoming people into the life of Christ and his Church through Word and Sacrament, and walking together in faithful Christian community. As apprentices of Jesus, we seek to be with him, become like him, and do what he continues to do through us by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This transformation takes place as we worship, pray, study Holy Scripture, receive the sacraments, practice hospitality, serve others, cultivate meaningful Christian friendships, and faithfully participate in the life of the Church. These are not ends in themselves, but God’s ordinary means of grace by which he shapes us into mature followers of Jesus Christ.

Our desire is not simply to increase church attendance, but to see lives transformed by the gospel and people formed into faithful disciples who know Christ, love Christ, obey Christ, and joyfully make disciples who make disciples. As we abide in Christ and participate in his mission, he sends us into our homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and the world to bear witness to his Kingdom until he comes again and makes all things new.

Simply put, disciple-making is helping people follow Jesus together until they increasingly think as Christ thinks, love as Christ loves, live as Christ lived, and invite others to do the same.

Life Together

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solitary journey. From the beginning, Christ has called His people into a community where we worship together, pray together, learn together, serve together, and encourage one another as we grow in His grace.

At All Saints, every generation has a place. Children are nurtured in the faith through loving care and biblical formation. Youth are challenged to know Christ deeply and follow Him courageously. Adults continue growing through lifelong discipleship, meaningful friendships, Bible studies, small groups, and opportunities to serve both within the church and throughout our community.

Our common life is centered on worship. Week by week we gather around God's Word and His Table, where Christ meets His people through Scripture and the Sacraments. Music, prayer, and the liturgy are not performances but the shared work of God's people, drawing our hearts toward Him and shaping us for faithful living.

Hospitality is one of the ways we seek to reflect the welcome of Christ. Whether over coffee after worship, around a shared meal, in a small group, or while serving alongside one another, relationships are formed as strangers become friends and friends become family.

Every member has a part to play. God has given each of us gifts to build up the Body of Christ and to bear witness to His Kingdom in Long Beach and beyond. As we serve one another in love, we discover that the Christian life is not simply about attending church—it is about belonging to Christ and growing together as His people.

There is a place for you here, and we would be honored to walk with you as we follow Jesus together.

God’s Mission

Sent into the World

The Church does not create God's mission. God is already at work reconciling the world to Himself through Jesus Christ, and by His grace He invites His people to participate in what He is doing.

Mission is not simply one ministry among many. It is part of who we are as followers of Jesus. Every time we gather for worship, we are also sent back into our homes, neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and communities to love our neighbors, bear faithful witness to Christ, and serve in His name.

Our mission begins here in Long Beach. We seek the good of our city by caring for those in need, building meaningful relationships, serving our community, and sharing the hope of the Gospel with humility, compassion, and conviction.

Our mission also extends far beyond our local community. We joyfully partner with missionaries, church planters, and Christian ministries around the world who are proclaiming Christ, making disciples, strengthening the Church, and serving in places of great opportunity and great need. Through prayer, generous giving, personal relationships, and ongoing encouragement, we stand alongside those whom God has called to serve across cultures and around the globe.

Whether God calls us to serve across the street or across the ocean, every Christian has a part to play. Some are called to go. Others are called to send. All are called to pray, to give, to serve, and to bear witness to the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

As we are formed by God's Word, nourished at His Table, and empowered by His Spirit, we are sent into the world to love, serve, and bear faithful witness until Christ comes again.
