All Saints Outreach

A significant part of All Saints’ mission is to encourage & support the growth of the Christian church in Indonesia. Toward that end, directly & indirectly, we have an active outreach program. Each part of the program is described very briefly below. Funding does not come from the church budget, but from direct contributions from past and present members and friends of All Saints. The Outreach Committee carefully manages the resources it receives, seeks to obtain additional support whenever possible, and encourages members of the parish to become active as project coordinators. There are currently more than 25 such coordinators, but there is room for many more. A fuller description of the Outreach Ministry can be found here.
