We are a church without walls

literally, in the sense that we do not yet have a fixed meeting place, and figuratively, in the sense that we are open, inclusive, and welcoming of all God's children. We are an emerging Christian community, not yet fully formed in personality or identity. We are in the midst of creation, but still relying on the wisdom of the saints' preceding us.
As an Episcopal community, our worship is grounded in the meaning, beauty and artfulness of the ritual of the early church. Yet theologically, we are constantly seeking to understand how Christ's life and teachings are relevant to us in the 21st century. We welcome you, no matter who you are, into this work of creating a new kind of church - a church that is both ancient and fully engaged in the present.


Where we meet

All Saints' meets at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 406 West Central Avenue, 3 blocks west of the square in Bentonville. Holy Eucharist, Rite II, begins at 11:00 am. Children's Chapel is a regular component of each service. All are invited to stay for Coffee Hour, complete with healthful snacks, immediately following.
