The congregation of All Saints originated from the joining of St Justin's, who met in the Witkoppen School, and the community who worshipped in the St Peter's prep chapel. Building of the church commenced in 2001 and was dedicated in March 2002 by Bishop Brian Germond
Architect, John Powel, designed a church building that reflected:
- a place of welcome for ALL people;
- a place of peace;
- family friendly;
- Afro-centric as opposed to Euro-centric, yet deeply sacramental;
- adaptable and flexible to future worship patterns (no pews);
- mirroring the emerging Priesthood of All Believers (no separation between altar, sanctuary and people).
The church forms an oasis of peace in this fast developing suburb.
The sixth and final bell was installed in 2008. On the weekends you might even hear the church bells.
