The parish is also honored to provide a home one other congregation, Iglesia de Dios "El Sinai" and benefits from its history with and proximity to Virginia Theological Seminary as it hosts seminarians seeking practical experience with a diverse and active congregation.

Core Values

Core values are basic beliefs we live by; that give our lives meaning and shape our relationship to the world around us. As Christians, living into our core values always has to do with the person of Jesus Christ, for he is the Word, the expression of God's will for humankind. We asked ourselves, What have we always cared about? Who are we today? What are we called to be tomorrow? After reflection and lengthy discussion, the Vestry determined the following Core Values of All Saints Sharon Chapel:

Diversity & Inclusion

Education & Formation

Family & Belonging

Our History

Founded simply as “the Chapel at Sharon” in 1848, All Saints Sharon Chapel has a rich history including war, occupation, fire, collapse and, most importantly, the grace of God to continue to serve our community through it all.
