Community Ministries All Saints Church Pontiac

Bound Together

For 28 years, Bound Together has provided tutoring, friendship and community to children and their families in Pontiac, Michigan. “BT” was founded in 1994 by parishioners at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pontiac as a response to the needs of students in a neighboring school.

Bound Together celebrated their 30th birthday at All Saints Episcopal Church. By clicking on the button below, you will be able to join us in the virtual celebration with four videos which describe the program, tutoring, philosophy and volunteers by interviewing the participants.

FREE Community Breakfast

In September, 2014, All Saints' began hosting a free community breakfast program on Saturday mornings from 8:00am to 10:00am for our neighbors who are in need of a nutritious meal. We targeted the working poor and homeless, including guests from group homes and warming centers.

Resale Shop at the Old Rectory

The "Old Rectory" resale shop first opened in 2011 as a means to extend our community outreach. As a former parsonage we offer a unique atmosphere to our shoppers who are treated to a variety of goods ranging from clothing of all types to housewares, jewelry, linens, toys and games, electronics, and tools. As a total volunteer organization, we are able to offer our offerings at very reasonable prices.

We are located adjacent to the parish. Parking is available adjacent to the shop, as well as on Exchange Street and the main church lot accessed from Williams Street.

All major credit cards accepted.
