All Saints – Lakewood
We are proud to support ministries such as All Saints Episcopal Church in Lakewood, whose Sanctuary Ministry embodies faith in action. All Saints continues to provide safety, compassion, and hope to immigrant families facing uncertainty and hardship. Their powerful witness reminds us that the Church’s call to love our neighbors extends beyond the walls of the sanctuary—into the very heart of community and justice.
