Our history is deeply intertwined with the legacy of the Anglican Communion, a global fellowship of believers united in the love of Christ. On this page, we invite you to explore our journey of faith, from our founding to our mission in the world today, and learn more about the beauty and richness of Anglican heritage.
The Vicar InCharge
The roots of All Saints ACK can be traced to 1911, when a small but dedicated group of worshippers gathered to create a space for Anglican worship in Naivasha. Guided by the values of the Anglican Church, our parish has grown into a thriving community that welcomes all who seek to experience the grace and love of God.
Highlights:
- Established to serve the growing community of Naivasha.
- A place for meaningful worship, community service, and spiritual growth.
- Part of the Diocese of Nakuru, under the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK).
Our faith is deeply rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Scriptures, and upheld by the traditions of the Anglican Communion. At All Saints ACK, we strive to live out these beliefs in our worship, ministry, and daily lives.
What We Believe:
- The authority of the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God.
- The Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds as statements of our core Christian faith.
- The Sacraments of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist as vital expressions of God’s grace.
Our Traditions:
- Liturgical Worship: Our services follow the Book of Common Prayer, blending timeless liturgy with heartfelt prayer and music.
- The Church Year: We celebrate the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost, each rich with spiritual meaning.
- A Sense of Community: Fellowship and service are at the heart of our faith, reflecting Christ’s call to love one another.
