Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals/Memorials

Baptisms

Baptism is the rite of Christian initiation by which a person is lovingly adopted by God into God’s family. Candidates for baptism make a series of vows, and are then formally welcomed into the Church in the name of the Creator, Son and Holy Spirit.

Baptisms are always a joyous occasion at All Saints. Baptism is celebrated on the feasts of All Saints (November), Baptism of our Lord (January), the Great Vigil of Easter (March-April), and the Day of Pentecost (May-June).  All people of any age are welcome to be baptized.

Please contact the Church Office at (805) 969-4771 or through email if you are interested in baptism at All Saints.

Weddings

All Saints is a beautiful Church and a popular place for weddings. If you have an inquiry about planning a wedding at All Saints, you can contact the Church Office at (805) 969-4771 or through email.

Premarital counseling is required for all couples wishing to be married in the Episcopal Church.

Funerals/Memorials

Losing a loved one is difficult, no matter the stage of life at which they leave us. Planning a memorial service that both honors their memory and celebrates new life in Christ can be a powerful healing experience. In the Episcopal Church, the liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy, and each burial service is a celebration of life and resurrection in Jesus Christ.

“Our assurance as Christians is that nothing, not even death, shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.” The Book of Common Prayer, page 862.

To make arrangements for a memorial service at All Saints, or if you would like the ministry of a priest, please contact the Church Office at (805) 969-4771 or  through email. Our clergy and funeral coordinator would be happy to meet with you to help plan a service.

The All Saints Memorial Chapel and Columbarium opened in July of 2021. Please click here if you are interested in learning about this option for being laid to rest within the walls of the church.

In the event of an emergency, please call the office at any time of day or night. One of our clergy is always on call.
