Community

Our Magazines
For over 165 years, All Saints has been a cornerstone of the Ponsonby community. Since the consecration of our first church, we’ve been dedicated to serving local residents, including factory workers, soldiers, and railway and port workers.

Our parish was instrumental in establishing the district’s first public school, and the current marae-style church, designed by Prof Richard Toy in 1957, stands as a testament to our enduring legacy. Its ‘village green’ space remains a cherished spot for relaxation and community gatherings.

To ensure this tradition continues, we need your participation and support. Your contribution will help us maintain and enhance our facilities, supporting various community groups, including the All Saints Early Learning Centre and local sports, music, and arts organisations.

Join us in preserving and enriching this vital community space for future generations.

Women's Group

We gather one evening a month, usually the 3rd Monday, for warm conversation and fellowship. You can bring any craft project along or just yourself. Contact the office for details.

Men's Group

The Men’s Group meets once a month, usually on a 3rd Tuesday. Contact the office for details: (021) 261 1219

Our History

Social Events

Social Events
The regular members of our community come from all over Auckland, although we are predominantly from the local area. We continue to grow and develop as we discover what it means to be church in the third millennium.

We take our faith seriously and, as Anglicans should, we appeal to Scripture, Reason, and Tradition to nurture our faith. This means we believe in the Bible, though we are not literalists. We pay attention to what ‘all the saints’ — scholars, mystics, and fellow pilgrims — have said about the meaning of their lives, the meanings in scripture, and how to understand church doctrine.

We try to strike a balance between having enough going on in the parish to sustain us as a community and not so much happening that we use huge amounts of energy and resources entirely on ourselves. We know how to have a good party together and we hear the call to give ourselves for others.

There is a great diversity of people at All Saints. Everyone of every age and condition is welcome. We pray that we can be as hospitable, inclusive, and compassionate as Jesus encouraged his first disciples to be so every one finds a welcome here. We don’t always agree with each other but we manage to get along, have some fun, and encourage each other as we seek to be the Body of Christ in this part of God’s creation.
