Our History

The Growth of All Saints

All Saints of Lincolnshire grew as a mission from Louth parish. By 2005 it had grown to a point where it needed to meet weekly, and Fr. Philip moved from Louth to Lincoln to serve the growing community.

Since the start, we have always had catechumens—most of whom have never attended a church before. This focus on welcoming newcomers to the faith remains central to our parish identity today.

The parish has produced a priest and a deacon, with others currently preparing for ministry through Axios meetings.

Our Building

The Temple was built in 1881 for the local barracks and passed out of use for them many decades ago. More recently it served as a centre for Deaf Chaplaincy in Lincolnshire.

The building was modified over time to provide offices, kitchens, toilets, meeting rooms, halls, a car park, and a "worship centre." As our congregation has grown, the worship centre has expanded from a small part of the building to occupy most of it.

Looking Forward

Today, All Saints continues to grow as a community devoted to mission and evangelism. We offer regular services throughout the week, catechumen classes, Bible studies, and various outreach ministries serving Lincoln and beyond.

We are part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland, under the spiritual leadership of Metropolitan Silouan.
