Where are we in the process?
The All Saints community has come together to pledge $25 million towards the sanctuary project. Thank you to all who are participating! With $25 million in pledges, All Saints will pursue debt financing for the balance of the construction costs.
Although it appears we have the means to begin the sanctuary building project, we remain hopeful for further contributions as we move towards construction. Additional pledges would enable us to minimize our reliance on borrowed funds.

Is now the right time to begin giving to the Sanctuary Project?
For many, yes. If you've been considering making a donation in 2024, now is an excellent time to do so. All Saints is currently earning 4% interest on the funds that have already been contributed, as construction has not yet commenced. If you're ready to start giving, you can so so here.
If you have any questions or have a more complex gift, please contact David Breeding, or check out the many ways to give to All Saints.

Why more room?
When All Saints first undertook to build our permanent church campus nearly a decade ago, we did so in faith that the Lord was calling us to put down roots and minister to the community in and around southwest Austin. Since that time, we have been blessed with abundant growth in many ways. We've grown in simple attendance from Sunday mornings to weekday ministries - across the board attendance growth. But we've also grown in depth, in the type of ministries we are able to support. Most recently, what began as a single, small ESL class, the Lord has shaped and grown into an entire ministry, an after-school program, and a Spanish-language worship service. All of the things that we do on our campus are only possible because of having a physical space in which to do them.
We want to continue not just to sustain our existing ministries, but to open up new opportunities for serving all those who come through our doors.

How we've already made room:
All Saints has already implemented several steps to open up more space for Sunday worship. In addition to the Sanctuary project, there are more in the works or being considered:
Three Worship Services
In April 2021, All Saints began offering three worship services every Sunday morning.
Spanish-language Service
In April 2023, All Saints launched its Spanish-speaking worship service which meets in the Chapel concurrently with the third English service.
Service Times
You may have noticed that our service times have changed a few times over the last several years. This is another way we seek to make room. By adjusting service times, we've discovered just the right times to balance attendance, opening more space to welcome guests and regular attenders.
Church Planting
In August 2024, All Saints commissioned several dozen of its members to plant Resurrection Presbyterian Church with Rev. Adam Radcliff in northwest Austin.
