Worship
Worship brings us closer to God and opens our hearts to beauty.

Our worship is eucharistically focussed, enabling us to give thanks for the many gifts that God shares with us and all the blessings we enjoy. Through worship we are taken on a journey from confession and forgiveness to celebration and joy as we are brought to the fullness of our humanity together.

We believe in colour and drama and symbol; that worship should inspire and challenge us; and in being transformed through encountering the mystery of God. Our worshipping community is entirely inclusive and family friendly.

At All Saints our worship inspires and challenges us by re-telling the drama of Christ's life, death, and resurrection. Be a part of our serving team and lead others into a joyful encounter with God by carrying our processional cross, offering incense or as an acolyte carrying the light of Christ, or else join our team of readers and intercessors.
A regular pattern of worship

Sunday Mass
Said Mass
A quiet service at 8:00 am, this is taken from the Book of Common Prayer, using traditional language that has shaped the prayer and liturgical life of the Church of England.
Choral Mass
This is our main weekly act of worship featuring music from our choir, provocative sermons, and is followed by refreshments. During our Choral Mass, we have our Children's Church taking place for children of all ages.
Other regular services
Masses during the week
Mass is said in the Spirit Chapel on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. You are welcome to join us for a time of stillness and quiet during the week.
Morning prayer
Morning prayer is said at 9.00 am in the Spirit Chapel. This is a short simple service that grounds us in prayer at the beginning of the working day.
Music
We enjoy a variety of music from choral masses to lunchtime concerts

A vibrant choral tradition
All Saints is home to an exciting choir
At All Saints, music lies at the heart of our worship. Come and discover new musical settings for ancient hymns of praise, listen to psalms as they should be heard (sung and not spoken!), and have your senses awakened to the colour and drama of God's world.

The choir sings at Sunday choral masses and feast services throughout the year, upholding a tradition of outstanding choral music in Hove. Music is an essential part of the life here at All Saints. In addition to traditional choral services such as nine lessons and carols and an Advent procession the choir also sings in popular concerts at various points in the year. We are a mixed group of all ages, with a growing children’s choir. New singers are always welcome and there are no auditions – all that is required is an eagerness to sing and a commitment to attend the weekly rehearsal and service. To find out more about joining, or for details of current organ or choral scholarships please contact the Director of Music.

The Hill pipe organ
One of the finest pipe organs in the south of England

The pipe organ at All Saints was built in 1894 by William Hill & Son for the newly consecrated church. It was initially a small instrument with two keyboards and pedals. Once the church building and east end were completed in 1905, the Hill company expanded the existing organ to its current specification, high up on the north side of the choir. It now consists of three keyboards and pedals, has 48 speaking stops, and some 3000 pipes. The interior pipework of the organ remained visible until 1915. It was then encased in a double fronted gothic organ-case of magnificent proportions designed by F. L. Pearson, son of the architect who designed All Saints.

Since its installation, no changes have been made to the organ or to the case apart from routine cleaning and maintenance, so the organ stands as a completely intact example of a period instrument by one of the nation’s leading builders. The organ was restored in 1987. It was one of the first to be awarded a historic organ certificate by the British Institute of Organ Studies as being of international importance. It has informed the restoration of other large Hill organs, including those of Peterborough and Lichfield cathedrals and also Eton College. You can hear this magnificent instrument in action nearly every Sunday, and at selected concerts and events.
