Governance
All Saints parish is within the
Diocese of Singapore, and the clergy are licensed by the Bishop. However the
parish has its own constitution. Because of this and its location outside
Singapore the Church Council has more authority and responsibilities than in a
conventional Anglican parish. Council is comprised of the Vicar, Associate
Minister, Vicar's Warden, Associate Minister's Warden, South Jakarta People's
Warden, Menteng People's Warden, Councillors elected from both centres of
worship, Treasurer, Chair of Outreach Committee and Chair of Building Committee.
Members of Council are frequently not Anglicans. Council meets once a month.
John Chew is the Bishop of the Diocese of Singapore. The diocese is within the
Anglican Province of South-East Asia. The vicar and the associate minister
represent the church at the two diocesan synod meetings each year.
Becoming a
Member
Everyone is welcome to attend Sunday Services, and other parish
activities. We have three kinds of membership at All Saints: registered
members (or voting members), attending members, and visitors.
Registered members must be baptised, at least 17 years
old, regularly attend All Saints, and not currently hold office or membership in
any other church in Indonesia.
Attending members are those who attend All Saints regularly but who are not
eligible or choose not to be registered members.
Visitors are welcome to join the members in the services at All Saints
and all baptised Christians who have been admitted to Communion in their own
church, regardless of denominational background, are welcome to share in the
Lord’s Supper in response to the exhortations in the service.
Outreach
A feature of All Saints' mission is to encourage and support the
Christian Church in Indonesia. The church's Outreach programme supports 27 projects across the country, including
old people's homes, scholarships for students and rehabilitation of the
disabled.

Our Core
Values
Our Vision Statement
1. Our vision is of a Christian community that is a by-word among the
English-speaking community of Jakarta…
for helping the troubled
for welcoming all people
for resourcing families and individuals to 'live well'
for presenting the Christian message in a relevant and winsome manner
2. Our vision sees every person
who comes to our church experiencing spiritual growth. It will be...
a welcoming place where the
worship is God-honouring and uplifting and where every person is personally
challenged each week by God's message.
a place where helpful friendships naturally occur.
a microcosm of that kingdom which comprises people from every tribe and
tongue and nation…the most international group in Jakarta.
a place where everyone feels connected to the Indonesian churches across the
nation and seeks to support them.
a place with a 'Kingdom perspective' that joyfully farewells people equipped
to serve in their new location.
a place where people learn to listen to God and desire to share his love by
developing habits of prayer, bible-reading and home group attendance.
a place where the
individual matters where a person's cultural background, occupation, gender,
marital status, personality type, gifts and past experiences are appreciated
and utilised in serving God.
3. Our vision sees this
led by members committed to biblical truth, innovation and a pragmatic approach
to church traditions (starting
from an inclusive Anglican tradition).
4. Our vision sees our church continuing to work in partnership with Indonesian
Christians to make the love of Jesus known throughout Indonesia.
5. Our vision sees our church as beginning, pursuing and completing all its
endeavours in earnest, prayerful, daily dependence on God.
